San Francisco, CA - March 31, 2008 - The gap in health security is widening between low and high income Americans and between those covered by health insurance and those who are uninsured, according to findings from the second annual Health Security Index released today by Catholic Healthcare West (CHW), the eighth largest healthcare system in the nation.
