Problems for the uninsured

Vox Baby cited this from a Levy and DeLeire article.

The uninsured in the lowest quartile of the distribution of total expenditures spend more on housing, food at home, alcohol and tobacco, and education than do the insured.

In contrast, households in the top quartile of the distribution of total
expenditures spend more on transportation and furniture and appliances than do
comparable insured households.

These results are consistent with the idea that poor uninsured households face higher housing prices than do poor insured households.

Yet more evidence that the poor, uninsured are screwed on multiple levels.
