7 walnuts a day deliver health benefits
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17 (UPI) -- U.S. employers that provided health insurance dropped from 50 percent in 2008 to 44.8 percent last month, a survey indicates.
The Gallup Poll also indicates the percentage of Americans with government-based healthcare remained elevated at 26 percent in November.
Gallup has tracked an increase in the percentage of Americans with government healthcare -- Medicare, Medicaid, or military/veterans' benefits -- since 2008.
More than 16 percent of U.S. adults report they did not have health insurance last month, a figure down slightly from a high of 16.8 percent last May.
Gallup asks Americans about their healthcare coverage daily as part of the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index.
From Nov. 1-30, Gallup conducted telephone interviews of 27,218 U.S. adults, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The survey has a margin of error of 1 percentage point.
