Bridgeport Health Insurance (CT)Bridgeport, Connecticut, first settled in 1659, has had a vibrant past, including being home to P.T. Barnum, Al Capp, and Walt Kelly. This diverse, young population, is recovering from the 1980s economic crisis of losing much of its manufacturing base by, in part, becoming a bedroom community for the labor force of New York City. Nearly 15 percent of Bridgeport's workforce commutes for periods longer than 45 minutes. Within the city, 25 percent of children live in poverty, as do nearly twenty percent of the population as a whole. While job opportunities are increasing for residents, and the vast majority have health insurance, the city has had to deal with the effects on health because of the residual pollution of that earlier manufacturing.

It is located within an easy drive of fine ski areas and is close to 135 public golf courses. The population can enjoy the many fine parks in the city as well. This opportunity for year-round outdoor activities has produced a population that is healthier than the norm. Indications of this health are the extremely low incidence of infant mortality and the sturdiness of the elder population, who are able to remain in their homes for longer at a higher than average rate.
