Individual Health Insurance in Arizona (AZ)
Arizona is home to more than 6.1 million Americans and another 93,500 are born into the population each year. Of these, 1.2 million or 20 percent of Arizonans are not covered by health insurance. Arizona law allows insurance companies to turn residents down for coverage. However, with the number of options available in health insurance, this is easily remedied.
