These segments explore the crisis of the uninsured.

The rapidly growing number of uninsured patients is one of the greatest threats to quality medical care today. About 41 million people nationwide, including 400,000 in Arkansas, do not have any kind of medical coverage.

UAMS associate professor Joe Thompson, M.D., M.P.H., of the College of Medicine and the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement is leading a federally-funded effort to find innovative solutions. One of the new ideas, a plan that combines public and private sector financing, could serve as a model for the rest of the nation.
