By a study done by Parkview Hospital, it is reported that one in five people in northeastern Indiana are living without any health insurance coverage at all. These statistics are lead from low income jobs and employers not offering coverage to their employees.

It is becoming a serious problem for the healthcare industry and the people of Indiana the high percentage of civilians in the state without any coverage. Fort Wayne does have clinics that help people of low income or the unemployed but these days, that’s just not enough.

Children and elderly can go through the state to get coverage. Children are eligible through a program called Hoosier Health, and the senior citizens are eligible for the states Medicaid program.

The state is currently working on its situation with the uninsured.
