Every year, more and more Americans find themselves without health insurance coverage, and residents of Indiana are experiencing this problem at a rate that exceeds the national average. The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration reports that between 1999 and 2004 Indiana had the most businesses drop insurance coverage for their employees of all states in the U.S. If you are one of the half million Hoosiers without employer-provided health insurance, you should strongly consider purchasing a policy.

An estimated 13 percent of this state’s residents do not have any health insurance coverage at all.

Unfortunately, by the time severe symptoms appear, a health condition such as diabetes or heart disasee can have developed to the point where the treatment is far more expensive than routine testing would have been.
