Care Without Coverage
Author: Institute of Medicine
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309083435
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
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.

Medicare Beneficiaries with Dual Sources of Coverage
Author: Craig Copeland
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Medicare, the federal health insurance program for the elderly and the disabled, is facing an impending financial crisis, as the expected outlays from the Hospital Insurance Trust Fund are estimated to surpass the projected revenues beginning in 2007. However, the benefits offered to Medicare beneficiaries are typically less generous than benefits the nonelderly (under age 65) receive in their health plans. For example, Medicare does not cover outpatient prescription drugs and has relatively high deductibles for hospitalizations. Consequently, many Medicare beneficiaries also have a supplemental source of health care coverage. The sources of this supplemental coverage are a former employer or a spouse's former employer, a "Medigap" policy purchased by individuals through a private insurance company, or a public program such as Medicaid, the federal-state government program for the poor. This Notes article examines the trend in the number and percentage of noninstitutionalized elderly Medicare beneficiaries with these additional sources of coverage from 1994 to 1998. The PDF for the above title, published in the February 2000 issue of EBRI Notes, also contains the fulltext of another February 2000 EBRI Notes article abstracted on SSRN: "Retirement Annuity and Employment-Based Pension Income."
