Houghton Appalled
by Lack of Available Health Care for Delawareans -
According to recent estimates there are 96,000 uninsured Delawareans. A
large portion of them are the working poor, who do not qualify for Medicaid, are
not provided health insurance by their employers, and whose income is
insufficient to purchase basic health care coverage. Some 32,000 children in
Delaware, nearly one out of every six, are without health insurance. (click
