Health care is local—and so are these data. Families USA translates national estimates into state-level data to make the impact of health reform tangible to your local audiences. Also, Small Business Majority is producing a series of reports that explain how health reform will help small businesses in each state.

  • At a Crossroads: Is Health Coverage Ahead for America? examines how the Senate health reform bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will affect health coverage. It provides state-specific numbers on how many people will gain coverage under the bill, as well as how many people will be uninsured without health reform. (December 2009)

  • One-Two Punch: Unemployed and Uninsured takes a more in-depth look at the link between unemployment and uninsurance to get a clearer picture of the crisis of the uninsured. The report provides state-by-state numbers showing the likely magnitude of the increase in the uninsured due to rising unemployment. (October 2009)

  • Health Coverage in the States: How Will Health Reform Help? analyzes how the House health reform bill, America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, would address many of the gaps and problems in the health care systems of specific states. (September-October 2009)

  • Costly Coverage: Premiums Outpace Paychecks examines how the combination of stagnant wages and skyrocketing health insurance costs is placing a growing strain on family budgets. These state-specific reports show how health insurance premiums for families and individuals have risen over the last decade compared to earnings. (August 2009)

  • Coverage for America: We All Stand to Gain illustrates how many people will gain coverage in each state under the House Tri-Committee bill. (July 2009)

  • The Clock Is Ticking: More Americans Losing Health Coverage provides state-by-state data on the number of people who may lose health coverage between the beginning of 2008 and the end of 2010. (July 2009)

  • Too Great a Burden: Americans Face Rising Health Care Costs provides data on how many people are in families that will spend more than 10 percent or 25 percent of their pre-tax income on health care in 2009. (April 2009)

  • Americans at Risk: One in Three Uninsured presents data showing that 86.7 million people were uninsured for some period of time during 2007-2008. The report also offers a closer look at the number and characteristics of the uninsured. (March 2009)

  • Unemployed and Uninsured in America analyzes the health coverage status of unemployed workers with low and moderate incomes, including national and state-level data. (February 2009)

  • Dying for Coverage reports that lack of health insurance can have dire consequences—medical debt, missed care, and even premature death. We've created the first-ever state reports on the number of deaths due to lack of health insurance. (March 2008)
