Describe the extent and characteristics of the part of the population with limited access to health care coverage

What will be an ideal response?

A large percentage of the population (about 16% in 2011) has no medical coverage. Those medically uninsured are generally the poor, although some young adults with good health choose not to buy insurance. Low-income workers and those employed in smaller businesses are less likely to be covered, or have limited coverage, because of the higher costs of health care for smaller firms.
