Abstract
"Over 3.2 million people in New York State live uncovered by health insurance. In Westchester County. This translates to approximately 200,000 people, a group predominantly comprised of low income families, non-edlertly adults, and Latino immigrants. Who does this group historically turn to for care? Can these resources of care remain viable in this era of health care finance restructuring? These questions were the focus of a conference held march 15, 2001, sponsored by the Westchester Health Action Coalition and moderated by Lois Steinberg, HAP 2000."
