Abstract: In the United States, the lack of health insurance coverage among Hispanics is striking; about 23 percent of the Hispanics age 19-64 were not covered in 2015 by either private or public insurance as compared to 17 percent of blacks and 11 percent of whites (Barnett & Vornovitsky, 2016). Mexican Americans are the largest group in the Hispanic population and account for about 2 in every 3 Hispanics residing in the U.S. (Lopez, 2015). Mexican Americans have the most unfavorable health insurance coverage of any population group in the nation; one in every 3 Mexican Americans age 64 years and under did not have health insurance coverage in 2012 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012).
