• Slides from a 2006 study (PDF), which found that affording health care is a bigger problem for unmarried Americans than married ones. More than 14% of unmarried voters – and almost 20% of unmarried non-voters – were unable to pay for necessary care in the past year (compared to less than 5% of married voters). For more information about this study, visit Women's Voices, Women Vote.
• A study by UCLA’s Williams Institute , which found that “employers’ health insurance coverage for legal spouses places unmarried couples at a disadvantage for obtaining coverage…. [P]eople with same-sex or different-sex unmarried partners are two to three times more likely to be uninsured than married people, even after controlling for factors influencing coverage.”
• The Universal Health Care Action Network website features resources, links to local efforts, and information about the national movement for health coverage for all people.
• One way to achieve truly universal health care is called “single payer.” Physicians for a National Health Care Program answers frequently asked questions about single payer systems here.
