18% of Ohio Adults Don't Have Health Insurance

Eighteen percent of Ohio adults have no health insurance, up from 12 percent who said they were uninsured in a similar poll five years ago, according to a report by The Republic.

The Ohio Health Issues Poll, conducted by the Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati, did not ask people why they lacked health insurance, but Director of Community Research Jennifer Chubinski told The Columbus Dispatch that the numbers reflect fewer employers offering health coverage.

According to the report, nearly 950 people between the ages of 18 and 64 were surveyed by telephone last month.
