Question

True or False? The United States does not have publicly financed health insurance specifically for the unemployed.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The United States has no single nationwide system of health insurance.

In the event that an employed worker's spouse loses his/her job to lay-off, the insurance premium financed by the active worker for this family coverage should provide basic health benefits to unemployed workers and their dependents because government does not provide for such category of active group except for senior citizens.

Health insurance is purchased in the private marketplace or provided by the government to certain groups. Private health insurance can be purchased from various organizations such as profit commercial insurance companies or from non – profit insurers.
