Compounding the millions of dollars in benefits poor families draw down are the invaluable long-term societal advantages of more stable households. For example, families without health insurance often go to emergency rooms for treatment instead of accessing less expensive, preventative care. For the general public, this means higher healthcare costs. For the poor, it means more serious risks of illness and the possible loss of educational opportunities, employment and housing that come about in the case of prolonged illness or other medical disabilities.
