Who are the uninsured? Our analysis confirms what you're probably guessing:
Nearly a third of Oklahomans receive Medicare/Medicaid. These government programs are particularly relevant to those with low incomes - 55% of Oklahomans with incomes of less than $25,000 have Medicare/Medicaid which is significantly more than any other income group.
Individuals who live in suburban areas are significantly less likely to receive Medicare/Medicaid than those who live in rural or urban environments. Residents of suburban areas are likely to have higher incomes, too.
Twenty-seven percent of Oklahomans have health insurance through their employer. There appears to be a linear relationship between household income and employer-provided insurance - as household income increases, so does the likelihood the employer will provide health insurance.
All income brackets are significantly more likely to have employer-provided insurance than those in households will less than $25,000 income a year. Those with incomes of more than $75,000 are statistically more likely to have insurance provided by their employer than any other income group.
