According to a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, as many as 11.4 million Americans with one or more chronic illnesses have no health insurance policy .
Health insurance is somewhat different in America, although the life insurance market is more similar. People with chronic illnesses such as diabetes generally face higher insurance premiums for diabetic life insurance .
The health insurance situation in America could be damaging the health of many people with diseases and without health insurance. Dr. Andrew Wilper was reported as commenting: "Primary care doctors know that people who don't have access to health care due to health insurance suffer. We wanted to study that issue and bring public attention to it."
Other diabetic insurance news indicates that diabetics will urge insurance companies in America to cover insulin pumps .
