| At the outset of the initiative,
ERIU commissioned six critical syntheses
papers to summarize
existing literature on the causes and consequences of being
uninsured. The syntheses helped set the agenda for further
research. The Urban Institute Press recently published, Health
Policy and the Uninsured based on these works. |
