Gaps in Health Insurance: Why So Many Americans Experience Breaks in Coverage and How the Affordable Care Act Will Help

The Commonwealth Fund Health Insurance Tracking Survey of U.S. Adults finds that one-quarter of adults ages 19 to 64 experienced a gap in their health insurance in 2011, with a majority remaining uninsured for one year or more. Losing or changing jobs was the primary reason people experienced a gap. Compared with adults who had continuous coverage, those who experienced gaps were less likely to have a regular doctor and less likely to be up to date with recommended preventive care tests, with rates declining as the length of the coverage gap increases. Early provisions of the Affordable Care Act are already helping bridge gaps in coverage among young adults and people with preexisting conditions. Beginning in 2014, new affordable health insurance options through Medicaid and state insurance exchanges will enable adults and their families to remain insured even in the face of job changes and other life disruptions.

The Montgomery County Community Foundation gave a real “shot in the arm” to the fundraising campaign recently launched by the Montgomery County Free Clinic Inc. Board of Directors.

On Tuesday, the MCCF board awarded a grant of $75,000 over a three-year period for the clinic. The grant was made possible through the Faye O. and Anna Winter Schenck Fund and the Drs. Paul and Mary Ludwig Fund. It will be distributed as follows: $40,000 this year, $20,000 in 2012 and $15,000 in 2013.

The Free Clinic board received news in October that North Central Health Services had awarded them a 3:1 matching grant worth up to $900,000. This math turns the foundation’s $75,000 gift into one of $300,000. If they maximize the award, they will have a total of $1.2 million to get the clinic built and ready to open. The gift represents 25 percent of the clinic’s fundraising goal.

“This gift is just amazing,” said Bill Doemel, president of the Montgomery County Free Clinic Board.
