The Number of People Without Health Insurance is Rising to Epic Levels: This U.S. State is Hit Hardest

See our important previous newsletters with the latest on delivery times, prescription drug shortages and wholesaler rationing, and the significant milestone NorthWestPharmacy.com reached during the coronavirus crisis.

We previously reported that a whopping nearly one out of every four people in the United States could end up without health insurance as result of job losses arising out of the coronavirus crisis.

While the epic numbers of people suffering a loss of health insurance are in all states, one state is hit especially hard. That state is Texas.

According to a recent article in the Texas Tribune, approximately five million Texans did not have health insurance prior to the coronavirus pandemic which made it the state with the highest uninsured rate before the pandemic. "With the U.S. economy flailing as the country contends with the coronavirus pandemic, more than 1 million Texans have likely suffered the double whammy of losing their jobs and their employer-based health insurance", say the authors of the article. That would mean there are approximately 6 million people without health insurance in Texas at this point of the pandemic, which is approximately 20% of the state's population.

For more than a decade, NorthWestPharmacy.com has made it possible for those without prescription drug coverage or those with high deductibles, cost-ineffective copays and donut hole coverage gaps, to afford their prescribed medications. Hundreds of thousands of compelling true stories are proof that the savings at NorthWestPharmacy.com typically exceed 50% and are often more than 80% on prescription drugs.
