• Description:
  Insurance coverage reduces, but does not eliminate, cost barriers for asthma care.
  
  National estimates show that Americans with asthma are more likely to have health insurance than those without asthma. Among those with asthma, more children had health insurance coverage for the full year than adults. Coverage for children ranged from 89.3% in Arizona to 99.9% in Massachusetts and for adults from 77.8% in Texas to 96.7% in the District of Columbia.
