The number of Americans without health insurance reached 46.3 million in 2008, up from 45.7 million a year earlier, according to figures released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.
In the Portland-Vancouver area, United Way supports Project Access Now, a strategic initiative that organizes charity care in the region, making health care accessible to those who are most vulnerable in our community.
Project Access NOW has a growing regional network of primary care and specialty physicians and health care professionals to volunteer their services at no charge. Access to health care is of primary importance in our area, where some 314,000 people are uninsured.
