Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2003 in the subject Pedagogy - Science, Theory, Anthropology, grade: A, California State University, Los Angeles, course: Medical Anthropology, language: English, abstract: This paper presents from a theoretical perspective critical analyses of the impact of the lack of health insurance on illness, suffering and death of the Asian and Pacific American population. It addresses critical concerns on the proportions of the uninsured, their demographic characteristics, population growth, disease prevalence, access to care and health outcomes. We engage in findings that illuminate the complex processes involved in disparities in insurance coverage that exist for the uninsured. We limit our discussion in terms of social policy, not so much to minimize the importance of other relevant narratives but to prevent contradiction of certain social and political contexts in which this type of research is situated.

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.

Book Synopsis Increasing Health Coverage Within Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities by :
Download or read book Increasing Health Coverage Within Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American and Pacific Islander Communities still face inequalities in health coverage, provider access, and overall health status. Uninsured adults are less likely to receive preventive care, screening services, and appropriate acute and chronic disease management and they are more likely to have poorer overall health compared to insured individuals. The lack of health insurance often forces people to put off needed medical care because they cannot afford the out-of-pocket costs of medical services. These problems disproportionately affect the diverse and fast-growing ethnic groups known as Asian-American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI's). AAPI's make up about 4 percent of the population but about 5 percent of the uninsured.

Book Synopsis Care Without Coverage by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Care Without Coverage written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2002-06-20 with total page 213 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Health-Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Health-Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.
Book Synopsis Reflections and Recommendations on Building Coverage for California's Uninsured by :
Download or read book Reflections and Recommendations on Building Coverage for California's Uninsured written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California has a high percentage of its population uninsured. The uninsured are predominantly young, low wage working families. Children's uninsured rates are falling while uninsured rates for young working adults are growing at the fastest rates. In California and nationally, the rates of increase in health costs and premiums are the prime cause of the growth in the uninsured. California has made important progress in covering the uninsured including: expanded coverage for children and parents, underwriting reforms and purchasing pools for small employers and a growing momentum for change at state and local levels. There are many state and local leaders of good will seeking both immediate and long term, far-reaching solutions. Major legislation is being proposed to reduce California's high rate of uninsured; these proposals include mandating employer and individual coverage, coverage for all children and enacting a Canadian style single payer system. Universal coverage could be incrementally achieved in California sequenced as follows: first, all children, second Healthy Families parents, third low wage working adults, finally universal coverage (via mandates, pay or play or taxes) if linked to cost controls. The missing ingredients for success are stakeholder statesmanship. An increasing number of counties, regions and local initiatives are developing innovative pilots to increase coverage of the uninsured. Most cover children; some cover adults and parents. Some test new forms of coverage such as managed care for the county indigent or purchasing pools and premium subsidies for low wage workforces. Local efforts build on the strengths and needs of local communities: 1) Local Initiatives, County Organized Health Systems and Community Health Plans who are willing and able to lead experiments, commit financing and take risk, 2) public hospitals and community clinics who treat Medi-Cal, county indigent and uninsured patients without discriminating based on the patient's payor source, and 3) strong and cohesive local leaderships. The biggest challenge to local innovation is the frozen, fragmented and often incomprehensible thicket of federal and state programs and funding streams on which they rely. California is unique in that local government with the least access to funding shows the greatest leadership and creativity in covering the uninsured.

Book Synopsis America's Children by : Institute of Medicine and National Research Council
Download or read book America's Children written by Institute of Medicine and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-10-27 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's Children is a comprehensive, easy-to-read analysis of the relationship between health insurance and access to care. The book addresses three broad questions: How is children's health care currently financed? Does insurance equal access to care? How should the nation address the health needs of this vulnerable population? America's Children explores the changing role of Medicaid under managed care; state-initiated and private sector children's insurance programs; specific effects of insurance status on the care children receive; and the impact of chronic medical conditions and special health care needs. It also examines the status of "safety net" health providers, including community health centers, children's hospitals, school-based health centers, and others and reviews the changing patterns of coverage and tax policy options to increase coverage of private-sector, employer-based health insurance. In response to growing public concerns about uninsured children, last year Congress voted to provide $24 billion over five years for new state insurance initiatives. This volume will serve as a primer for concerned federal policymakers and regulators, state agency officials, health plan decisionmakers, health care providers, children's health advocates, and researchers.

Book Synopsis Communities in Action by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Communities in Action written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
Book Synopsis Unequal Treatment by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Unequal Treatment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-02-06 with total page 781 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racial and ethnic disparities in health care are known to reflect access to care and other issues that arise from differing socioeconomic conditions. There is, however, increasing evidence that even after such differences are accounted for, race and ethnicity remain significant predictors of the quality of health care received. In Unequal Treatment, a panel of experts documents this evidence and explores how persons of color experience the health care environment. The book examines how disparities in treatment may arise in health care systems and looks at aspects of the clinical encounter that may contribute to such disparities. Patients' and providers' attitudes, expectations, and behavior are analyzed. How to intervene? Unequal Treatment offers recommendations for improvements in medical care financing, allocation of care, availability of language translation, community-based care, and other arenas. The committee highlights the potential of cross-cultural education to improve provider-patient communication and offers a detailed look at how to integrate cross-cultural learning within the health professions. The book concludes with recommendations for data collection and research initiatives. Unequal Treatment will be vitally important to health care policymakers, administrators, providers, educators, and students as well as advocates for people of color.
