A new report by Families USA, said North Carolina 3 die every day because they lack health insurance.
The report Families USA for health insurance in North Carolina made three points on uninsured adults:
* Nearly three working-age North Carolina die each day because of the lack of health insurance
* Between 2000 and 2006, the estimated number of adult North Carolina residents who died because they have no health insurance was nearly 5600.
* In the whole country (2006) twice as many people died from a lack of health insurance as coverage died from homicide.
In its 2002 report, the Institute of Medicine estimated that 18000 adults nationally died in 2000 because they had no health insurance. This estimate was updated later by the Urban Institute, which reported that at least 22000 adults died in 2006 due to a lack of health insurance.
