(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 11, 2009 ) YPSILANTI, MI – The US Census Bureau just released new statistics on the number of uninsured across the US, and Texas leads the nation with 25% of its residents without health insurance.

“A high uninsured rate affects everybody, not just those without insurance,” says Barbara O’Connell of WhereToFindCare.com. “Hospital emergency rooms treat more people and aren’t reimbursed. Those costs are passed on to those with insurance. Making the problem worse, many people put off basic medical care until they are very sick; this further increases the cost to everyone.”

If you’re uninsured, you can find help and help prevent rising health care costs by seeking treatment from a free or low-cost clinic, or a federally qualified health center. These organizations provide basic medical care to those in need at reduced rates, or in many cases, at no cost to the patient at all. Another resource is urgent care and walk-in clinics. In non-emergency cases, these providers are less expensive and faster than a visit to an emergency room. To locate any of these providers, visit http://www.WhereToFindCare.com
