    According to the most recent set of complete data in 2011, 87% of all Kansans have some form of health insurance. Fifty-two percent have an employer-sponsored health plan, 5% buy their own individual coverage, 13% through Medicaid, 14% through Medicare, and 3% on some other form of public insurance(veterans benefits, high-risk pools, etc). And the remaining 13% had no health insurance at all. According to analysis of trends in KS and Nationwide, KS is one of the few states that saw a decrease in health insurance coverage(more uninsured) from 2007-2011. Because, according to the data, the new dependent coverage meant to allow young adults to remain on their parents insurance up to age 27, didn't impact Kansas Residents as much as the rest of the nation during the recession.
