The typical uninsured person is one who works at a low-paying job, part-time or temporary, or at a small business. The elderly person would be eligible for Medicare, and the 2-year-old is proba-bly eligible for Medicaid. The man who works at the large corporation probably has health insur-ance, since most large businesses provide it.
