Abstract

Hawaii has the highest level of insurance coverage of any state in the nation. Hawaiis residents lacking health insurance in 1991 ranged from an estimated 3.75 to 7.0 percent in comparison to the national average of14 percent. Nevertheless, Hawaiis employer mandate and government programs do not ensure coverage for everyone in the state. Further, even some residents with insurance encounter problems obtaining access to health services and need community health centers and other safety net programs. Hawaii has experienced the same trend of rising costs as the rest of the nation. Although Hawaii has a requirement that employers provide health insurance, large disruptions in Hawaiis small business sector have not resulted.
