In a recent report of health
care provided to homeless members of the community in Michigan, the Michigan
Primary Care Association (MPCA) said that Michigan Health Centers provided care
to 19,345 homeless individuals in 2011. The majority of individuals who
received care (33%) reported living “doubled up” or with other family or
individuals while 1.3% of those who received care and were homeless report
living on the street.
MPCA presents this data in
an interactive map format allowing users to view these and other data by region
or Continuum of Care networks and year.

A similar difficulty faces those who would attribute the bulk of the decline to more cost-sharing -- it may help, but it’s just not significant enough to have produced the sharp slowdown our nation has experienced over the last 7 years. http://clearskinmaxsolution.org
