One in seven New York State residents under age 65 has no health insurance coverage. In New York City, 17 percent are uninsured. While more than four million state residents are covered by Medicaid, an estimated one million are eligible for public health insurance but uninsured. Simultaneously, the proportion of workers with employer-sponsored coverage is declining, and covered workers bear an increasing share of the cost of their health insurance.
The Fund seeks to identify ways to expand and strengthen public and employer-sponsored health insurance coverage through research, policy analysis, and grant support of model programs.
