Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uninsured in America goes to the heart of why more than forty million Americans are falling through the cracks in the health care system, and what it means for society as a whole when so many people suffer the consequences of inadequate medical care. Based on interviews with 120 uninsured men and women and dozens of medical providers, policymakers, and advocates from around the nation, this book takes a fresh look at one of the most important social issues facing the United States today. A new afterword updates the stories of many of the people who are so memorably presented here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 4.7 million nonelderly adults and children of the seven million Californians who were uninsured for all or part of 2009 will be eligible for insurance as a result of last year's health care reform legislation, according to new data from the 2009 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2009). Eligible Californians will obtain coverage either through Medi-Cal or through subsidies to purchase private health insurance in the new California Health Benefit Exchange (CHBE) starting in 2014. The CHBE will also be open to 1.2 million uninsured persons who do not qualify for subsidized premiums due to their income exceeding eligibility levels, but who will benefit from the new marketplace created through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Just over one million uninsured persons do not qualify to participate in either the CHBE or in the Medi-Cal expansion due to their citizenship status. With seven million uninsured residents of California in 2009, the new insurance options made available by the PPACA could face challenges in enrolling these uninsured individuals.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990’s, our nation’s healthcare system has undergone various transformations, innovations, and reformations. Ever since World War I, our country has been trying to develop a system that will overcome the complexity of insurance plans with attempts to cost contain health care spending. We have a healthcare system that is complex and different from that of other industrialized countries, we are a non-unified and non-universal operating system. Over a decade ago Hillary Clinton attempted to implement the proposed health security act of 1993 as a universal healthcare, but was eventually defeated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010, also known as Obamacare. The ACA is an insurance system where Americans receive health care coverage through various programs including their jobs, the federal government and state programs. Although millions gained healthcare coverage after the ACA was passed, 27 million people remain uninsured, and our nation continues to struggle with disparities in insurance coverage. Americans gain insurance by paying through employer subsidized plans, by contributing towards state and federal taxes or paying directly out of their own pocket. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) states that today as a nation, we still have the highest Gross Domestic Product, with health care spending accounting for 17.9 percent. From 2016 to 2018, our health care spending increased by 4.3 percent to amount to $3.3 trillion. Yet low-income individuals or families remain uninsured, which imposes a burden to the health of an individual, organizations and our nation. Those that are still uninsured are the highest cost and highest needs population, and our health care system fails at properly treating those with chronic diseases. Patient access remains an issue and imposes a burden to organizations, physicians and to the American. Unfortunately, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has not solved the problems that we as a nation still deal with, and substantial variation remains within our health care system. This includes millions still uninsured, high cost expenditures, and short term financial hits through the adoption of value-base care models. However, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) intent has focused on increasing quality of care, encouraging people to lead a healthier life through preventative care and improving the economic and social well-being of our population. With the rapid changes around the infrastructure of healthcare organizations, there is need for innovation towards methods to lower health care costs while ensuring that every single person has access to affordable care. There is a need to break down barriers, improve on existing models, expand on innovation towards positive impact, achieve better quality of care, quality of life and prepare for the unknown. This review of the literature shows that Americans remain uninsured due to socioeconomic characteristics and behaviors, including income, employment status, environment, gender, race and ethnic groups. Identifying the causes of these disparities is very important for organizations and the State of California.

Download or read book Coverage Matters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-10-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly 40 million Americans have no health insurance, private or public, and the number has grown steadily over the past 25 years. Who are these children, women, and men, and why do they lack coverage for essential health care services? How does the system of insurance coverage in the U.S. operate, and where does it fail? The first of six Institute of Medicine reports that will examine in detail the consequences of having a large uninsured population, Coverage Matters: Insurance and Health Care, explores the myths and realities of who is uninsured, identifies social, economic, and policy factors that contribute to the situation, and describes the likelihood faced by members of various population groups of being uninsured. It serves as a guide to a broad range of issues related to the lack of insurance coverage in America and provides background data of use to policy makers and health services researchers.

Download or read book County Efforts to Expand Health Coverage Among the Uninsured in Six California Counties written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 20 years, counties in California have assumed primary responsibility for providing health care to uninsured individuals. In 1999, approximately 6.8 million Californians lacked health insurance coverage. About 2 million of these uninsured individuals (30 percent) are potentially eligible to participate in existing publicly funded programs. However, many adults (4.3 million) and children (350,000) do not meet the income, immigration, or categorical requirements of these programs and are likely to remain uninsured under current federal and state policies. To address gaps in public coverage at the state level, six California counties have expanded health insurance coverage or created access programs targeting two groups of uninsured individuals. This background paper summarizes major coverage expansions in these six counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, and Solano). Specifically, it identifies similarities and differences among the programs in terms of their target populations, benefits, outreach, enrollment, and retention strategies, and highlights some lessons learned for other counties and the state. Summary tables, which describe the major features of each program and their outreach, enrollment, access, and retention activities, are included at the end of the paper. Although each county described in this paper has taken a different implementation path, all counties' expansion efforts have targeted either: (1) children who are not eligible for the Medi-Cal or Healthy Families programs or (2) low-income, uninsured adults. Each county has selected the Local Initiative or County Operated Health System (COHS) to administer the new program. Alameda, San Francisco, San Joaquin, and Santa Clara Counties supplemented existing funding streams with a combination of county general revenues, state funding, national tobacco settlement money, Proposition 10 funds, contributions from the Local Initiative, and grants from private foundations. In contrast, Contra Costa and Solano Counties reprogrammed existing state and county funds to improve the organization and delivery of health care services to uninsured adults.
