• Poor married women are more likely to be uninsured than poor unmarried women, in part because they are less likely to have Medicaid coverage.
• Married women are more likely to have private insurance, and less likely to have Medicaid, than unmarried women.
• The probability of an offer of health insurance through an employer increases with family income for both married and unmarried women.
