| Health Authority sponsors Walk for the Uninsured - Page 2 |

Page 2 of 2 There currently is an estimated 280,000 uninsured people in Wayne
County, and an growing number of underinsured people, whose workplace
health benefits are diminishing and co-pays increasing. The reduction
in health insurance coverage for many workers has reduced access to
medical care, pharmacy, medical equipment, and other health services,
further compounding the issue. In addition to the program and walk, the Health Authority will offer Medicaid enrollment assistance on site during the event. People who are uninsured are encouraged to speak with an outreach counselor who will determine if they are eligible for Medicaid or another insurance program.
