Health insurance is related to marital status

Overall, unmarried (divorced or never married) women aged 25-64 years are more likely to be uninsured (21%) than married women (13%) in the same age group..

Poor married women are more likely to be uninsured than poor unmarried women, in part because they are less likely to have Medicaid coverage.

We do not have this per se. We do have a variety of health insurance information in Health, United States, 2007. Go to http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus.htm.
