I would like to have a statistical analysis done of the following info:<br>job, base salary, number of adults, number of children, ages, marriage status, social service programs currently enrolled in, amount received, disabilities, military service, citizen or naturalization status, if unemployed in last 6 months, own or rent home, how many visits to emergency room per year, race, and any other info needed to really understand where we are on this. Otherwise, I do not think we can make any valid assumptions. Most states have health care assistance programs for the poor and there are some basic independent programs that are available for reasonable cost. If this exists, then the wholes in these programs are the concerns, and information on what is available, not reworking the whole system. This will go a long way in getting things fixed, more so than a nationalized system. I feel most of the problem is ignorance of what is available and procedure.
