Moreover, research shows that leaving a large share of the population without health insurance affects not only those who are uninsured, but also the health and economic wellbeing of the nation. Yet, despite these findings, the number of uninsured Americans continues to grow. Although the national debate over ensuring health coverage for more Americans periodically gains momentum, it then stalls—perhaps in part because not enough is known about both the benefits and the costs of expanding coverage to more, if not all, of the uninsured.
