Individual Health Insurance in Idaho (ID)
More than 1.4 million Americans call Idaho home and each year more than 22,500 babies are added to the population. Unfortunately, 15 percent of Idahoans do not have health insurance coverage. With the flexible range of options available in healthcare policies, there's no reason why everyone in Idaho can't join the ranks of the insured.
Idaho Health Facts and Issues
Almost 30 percent of Idaho's new mothers-to-be don't receive the prenatal care they need during pregnancy. Because of this, there are more than 1500 low birth weight babies each year, almost 7 percent of all newborns. Another 11 percent are born prematurely. And up to the age of 3, 24 percent of Idaho's children don't receive the immunizations they need.
Additionally, 10 percent of children between the ages of 10 and 17 are overweight and more than half received treatment or counseling for some type of developmental or behavioral disorder. Only 46 percent got a dental and medical checkup last year. With a basic healthcare policy, these needs and more would be taken care of.
