I had the pleasure of speaking to many, many people yesterday at the Appalachian Festival. One gentleman in particular said that he was a nurse in West Virginia (I can’t remember where exactly, sorry) but he said he works with a high uninsured population. He asked what Allegany’s statistics were and I wasn’t sure off hand. so here are the stats from 2015. Hopefully the number of uninsured individuals has decreased since then. If anyone has more up to date information or knows where to find it, please let us know! I think this was a great concern that this gentleman brought up!
This government website shows census statistics and measures the Allegany County uninsured as 6.4% in 2017.
