Studies have shown that the majority of the uninsured in the U.S. have some connection to the labor force, whether they are working themselves or a dependent of someone who is working. Therefore, option C is the true statement. Option A is incorrect as not all of the uninsured are free riders. Option B is not entirely true, as some uninsured individuals may have health problems but there are also many who are healthy and still cannot afford health insurance. Option D is not completely accurate, as uninsured individuals may still have some access to medical care through community health clinics or emergency rooms. Option E is not entirely true, as there are options for individuals to get reinsured through government programs or by finding a new job with health benefits.
