Supplementary Table 4. Income and Access to Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance among African American, Latino, and white persons, 1997-2001
Note: This table suggests that uninsured persons are more likely to have lower income and less access to employer-sponsored insurance regardless of race. However, uninsured Whites gain greater access to insurance because they generally have greater financial resources than uninsured individuals of other races.
