A big victory for the uninsured in America today, and a big victory for
homeless people. Our own healthcare for the homeless in Cleveland, Care
Alliance, serves nearly 10,000 people per year. 88% of their clients
do not have any insurance, 9% have regular medicaid, and 2% have
Medicare with only 1% having private health insurance. Today the United
States Supreme Court upheld the individual mandate, which will allow
thousands of homeless people in Cleveland to find a health care home in
America. There will be thousands currently living in subsidized housing
who will now have access to affordable health care. This is great
news.
