1. Compare the percentage of uninsured between 2013 and 2020 for the two counties using the maps. Has the percent uninsured increased, decreased or stayed the same?
2. Focusing on the map in 2020 for the percent uninsured, compare the percent uninsured between these two counties in 2020 only. Then consider possible explanations for differences/similarities in the percentage of uninsured between these counties. I suggest using information from another source, such as the 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) which is collected by U.S. Census Bureau. For example, if you’re looking at counties in 2 difference states, did each state expand Medicaid and if so, when? Are there differences/similarities between socioeconomic status (e.g., income, employment) and demographics (e.g., race, age) between the counties that help explain these differences/similarities?
In your essay, consider 4 of the following factors that could affect uninsured rates in that county (this is not a comprehensive list, so feel free to consider other factors not on the list below):In your essay, consider 4 of the following factors that could affect uninsured rates in that county (this is not a comprehensive list, so feel free to consider other factors not on the list below):
