dc.description.abstract	Presently there are 44 million uninsured in the United States, a disproportionate number of which are of low income. This problem has placed a huge burden on the health care system of this country and continues to foster a growing segment of our population who live day to day with chronic uncontrolled illnesses and use the emergency room as their main resource for health care.	eng
