Individual Health Insurance in Wyoming
The Equality State, or Cowboy State as it's also known, is home to half a million Americans. Each year, another 6800 more are born into the population. Unfortunately, insurance status is not equal: 15 percent of Wyoming's cowboys and cowgirls do not have a health insurance plan. With the wide variety of health insurance policies that are available, almost everyone in Wyoming should be able to get the insurance plan they need to cover their medical expenses.
Wyoming Health Facts and Challenges
Fifteen percent of all new mothers-to-be in Wyoming don't get the prenatal care they need during their pregnancies. Consequently, about 500 babies, or 8.6 percent of all newborns, are born each year with a low birth weight and 11 percent are born prematurely. Twenty-four percent of babies under the age of 3 don't get the immunization shots that are recommended for all children by the American Medical Association, 9 percent of kids between the ages of 10 and 17 are overweight and almost half of all Wyoming's children didn't get to see both a dentist and doctor last year. A basic health plan would go a long way in greatly improving the numbers mentioned above.
