Is the worst yet to come? 'Cover the Uninsured Week' will kick off with the number of uninsured increasing and fewer employers covering their workers.
Cover the Uninsured Week will kick off on May 1, with the number of uninsured set to grow another 25% through 2013, reaching 56 million Americans. With fewer employers willing to provide coverage to their employees, many fear the problem will get worse before it gets better. Richard Kronick, left, a professor at the University of California at San Diego, says we're no better off than we were 10 years ago.
