For women who do not have health care Planned Parenthood is a alternative. Abortions, protections and testing can be done at any Planned Parenthood clinic. Unfortunately, there is continous talk from the government of deducting more funds that go into Planned Parenthood.
Many people still do not have health care however, the ones that do are mostly being provided through their jobs. The employers automatically will deduct the money towards Medical and Dental care.
Another alternative to people and children with no insurance is open clinics.
More children under the age of nineteen are uninsured now more than ever. Many people who had insurance were being provided through their work. After the economy got bad many got laid off and no long had health insurance for themselves or family.
People who are uninsured and become ill unexpectedly end up having to pay for Hospital emergency bills which is much more expensive than doctor bills or going to the emergency room insured. Many people end up bankrupt from having to pay off these bills. Studies show that people who are uninsured have a greater risk of becoming terminally ill.
