Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

The six books in this important series include:
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) is a not-for-profit organization driving the improvement of health by advancing the quality and value of health care. IHI is a reliable source of energy, knowledge, and support for a never-ending campaign to improve health care worldwide. We develop and nurture will, energizing a movement for profound change in health care. We spread improvement knowledge across the globe, and provide methods, tools, and other supports, largely through partnerships, for thousands of health care organizations to turn knowledge into improved results. We initiate and support innovation efforts, so as to discover, cultivate, and demonstrate the feasibility of new, more capable, designs. We exercise academic rigor in this work. We work to change the skills, attitudes, and knowledge of the workforce, both in the ongoing development of young professionals and in life-long education, so as to reduce profession-specific silos that limit collaborative effort for the well-being of patients. We seek to improve joy in work, and to help all who work in health care to become better able to help improve care. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) serves as adviser to the nation to improve health. As an independent, scientific adviser, the Institute of Medicine strives to provide advice that is unbiased, based on evidence, and grounded in science. The mission of the Institute of Medicine embraces the health of people everywhere.
