Abstract
Federal efforts to address the problems created by loss of health insurance upon becoming unemployed have been hampered by the lack of data on the extent of the problem, as well as by the difficulty in developing fiscally realistic proposals which appear effective and equitable. To address these concerns, this paper reviews the existing research on this issue and reports on the results of a 1983 survey of Maryland recipients of unemployment insurance benefits. It then discusses these findings within the context of the issues left unresolved in the effort undertaken in the 1980s recession to provide health insurance to the unemployed.
