Uninsured rate is falling but racial/ethnic disparities persist: Uninsured Hispanics 28.3%. Blacks 15.5%. Whites 8.7% bit.ly/1N35kg6

Among New England states, 4.3 percent of residents were uninsured at the time they were interviewed, compared to a national average of 9.2 percent, according to the National Health Interview Survey.
