Long-term uninsured are people who have not had coverage for a year or more. Employer coverage is health insurance obtained through an employer or
union, also called group coverage. Non-group coverage is a health insurance policy purchased by an individual directly from an insurance company. Public
coverage includes federal programs such as Medicare, Veterans Affairs Health Care and TRICARE for military families, and state public programs such as
Medical Assistance (Medicaid) and MinnesotaCare.
