If health spending per capita increases at 7.5 percent per year for
the next ten years, we would expect the percentage of uninsured
workers who are not covered by a public program or as a dependent
to increase from 23 percent in 1995 to 30 percent in 2005 (Exhibit 7).
Conversely, if health spending (in nominal dollars) were to remain
flat for ten years while income rises by 2.7 percent per year, the
percentage uninsured would fall to 20 percent by 2005
