Explaining the decline in health insurance coverage, 1979-1995. (1/810)

The decline in health insurance coverage among workers from 1979 to 1995 can be accounted for almost entirely by the fact that per capita health care spending rose much more rapidly than personal income during this time period. We simulate health insurance coverage levels for 1996-2005 under alternative assumptions concerning the rate of growth of spending. We conclude that reduction in spending growth creates measurable increases in health insurance coverage for low-income workers and that the rapid increase in health care spending over the past fifteen years has created a large pool of low-income workers for whom health insurance is unaffordable.  (+info)

Challenges in securing access to care for children. (2/810)

Congressional approval of Title XXI of the Social Security Act, which created the State Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), is a significant public effort to expand health insurance to children. Experience with the Medicaid program suggests that eligibility does not guarantee children's enrollment or their access to needed services. This paper develops an analytic framework and presents potential indicators to evaluate CHIP's performance and its impact on access, defined broadly to include access to health insurance and access to health services. It also presents options for moving beyond minimal monitoring to an evaluation strategy that would help to improve program outcomes. The policy considerations associated with such a strategy are also discussed.  (+info)

Why are workers uninsured? Employer-sponsored health insurance in 1997. (3/810)

This study examines the number of workers in firms offering employee health plans, the number of workers eligible for such plans, and participation in employer-sponsored insurance. Data from the February 1997 Contingent Worker Supplement to the Current Population Survey indicate that 10.1 million workers are employed by firms offering insurance but are not eligible. Not all of these workers are eligible for coverage, most often because of hours of work. Our results indicate that 11.4 million workers rejected coverage when it was offered. Of those, 2.5 million workers were uninsured. Workers cited high cost of insurance most often as the primary factor for refusing coverage.  (+info)

Employer's willingness to pay: the case for compulsory health insurance in Tanzania. (4/810)

This article documents employers' expenditure on the arrangements for the health care of their employees in one of the least developed countries; Tanzania. The case for compulsory health insurance is considered in the light of the fact that only 3% of the population is employed in the formal sector and could be covered at first. It is shown from a survey of larger employers, outside government, that they were spending on average 11% of payroll on health care for their employees. This demonstrated their lack of satisfaction with the government health services. Nevertheless, those who could readily be covered by insurance were making considerable use of the more expensive government hospital services. It is argued that a compulsory health insurance scheme could be introduced for the formal sector of employment which would cover a wider range of health services at lower cost. The scheme would also have the desirable economic effect of lowering employers' labour costs while making it possible to improve the standards of the government health services.  (+info)

Reform follows failure: I. Unregulated private care in Lebanon. (6/810)

This first of two papers on the health sector in Lebanon describes how unregulated development of private care quickly led to a crisis situation. Following the civil war the health care sector in Lebanon is characterized by (i) ambulatory care provided by private practitioners working as individual entrepreneurs, and, to a small extent, by NGO health centres; and (ii) by a fast increase in hi-tech private hospitals. The latter is fuelled by unregulated purchase of hospital care by the Ministry of Health and public insurance schemes. Health expenditure and financing patterns are described. The position of the public sector in this context is analyzed. In Lebanon unregulated private care has resulted in major inefficiencies, distortion of the health care system, the creation of a culture that is oriented to secondary care and technology, and a non-sustainable cost explosion. Between 1991 and 1995 this led to a financing and organizational crisis that is the background for growing pressure for reform.  (+info)

The potential role of risk-equalization mechanisms in health insurance: the case of South Africa. (7/810)

International agencies such as the World Bank have widely advocated the use of health insurance as a way of improving health sector efficiency and equity in developing countries. However, in developing countries with well-established, multiple-player health insurance markets, such as South Africa, extension of insurance coverage is now inhibited by problems of moral hazard, and associated cost escalation and fragmentation of insurer risk-pools. Virtually no research has been done on the problem of risk selection in health insurance outside developed countries. This paper provides a brief overview of the problem of risk fragmentation as it has been studied in developed countries, and attempts to apply this to middle-income country settings, particularly that of South Africa. A number of possible remedial measures are discussed, with risk-equalization funds being given the most attention. An overview is given of the risk-equalization approach, common misconceptions regarding its working and the processes that might be required to assess its suitability in different national settings. Where there is widespread public support for social risk pooling in health care, and government is willing and able to assume a regulatory role to achieve this, risk-equalization approaches may achieve significant efficiency and equity gains without destroying the positive features of private health care financing, such as revenue generation, competition and free choice of insurer.  (+info)

Pressures on safety net access: the level of managed care penetration and uninsurance rate in a community. (8/810)

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of managed care penetration and the uninsurance rate in an area on access to care of low-income uninsured persons and to compare differences in access between low-income insured and uninsured persons across these different market areas. DATA SOURCES: Primarily the Community Tracking Study household survey. Other market-level data were obtained from the Community Tracking Study physician survey, American Hospital Association annual survey of hospitals, Area Resource File, HCFA Administrative Data, Bureau of Primary Care data on Community Health Centers. STUDY DESIGN: Individuals are grouped based on the level of managed care penetration and uninsurance rate in the site where they reside. Measures of managed care include overall managed care penetration in the site, and the level of Medicaid managed care penetration in the state. Uninsurance rate is defined as the percentage of people uninsured in the site. Measures of access include the percentage with a usual source of care, percentage with any ambulatory care use, and percentage of persons who reported unmet medical care needs. Estimates are adjusted to control for other confounding factors, including both individual and market-level characteristics. DATA COLLECTION: A survey, primarily telephoned, of households concentrated in 60 sites, defined as metropolitan statistical areas and nonmetropolitan areas. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Access to care for low-income uninsured persons is lower in states with high Medicaid managed care penetration, compared to uninsured persons in states with low Medicaid managed care penetration. Access to care for low-income uninsured persons is also lower in areas with high uninsurance rates. The "access gap" (differences in access between insured and uninsured persons) is also larger in areas with high Medicaid managed care penetration and areas with high uninsurance rates. CONCLUSIONS: Efforts to achieve cost savings under managed care may result in financial pressures that limit cross-subsidization of care to the medically indigent, particularly for those providers who are heavily dependent on Medicaid revenue. High demand for care (as reflected in high uninsurance rates) may further strain limited resources for indigent care, further limiting access to care for uninsured persons.  (+info)

Low-Income Uninsured Adults Less Likely to Have Chronic Conditions Compared With Medicaid EnrolleesLow-Income Uninsured Adults Less Likely to Have Chronic Conditions Compared With Medicaid Enrollees
Compared with adults already enrolled in Medicaid, low-income uninsured adults who may be eligible for Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act were less likely to have chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, although those with 1 of these conditions were less likely to be aware they had it or to have the disease controlled, according to a study in the June 26 issue of JAMA.

Differences in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment:Experiences of Insured and Uninsured Patients in a Safety Net SettingDifferences in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment:Experiences of Insured and Uninsured Patients in a Safety Net Setting
Downloadable! To explore how well the safety net performs at eliminating differences in diagnosis and treatment of insured and uninsured women with breast cancer, we compared insured and uninsured women treated in a safety net setting. Controlling for socioeconomic characteristics, uninsured women are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced disease, requiring more extensive treatment relative to insured women, and also experience delays in initiating and completing treatment. The findings suggest that, despite the safety net system, uninsured women with breast cancer are likely to require more costly treatment and to have worse outcomes, relative to insured women with breast cancer.

Trend Reversal: Uninsured rates tick upwards since passage of the Affordable Care ActTrend Reversal: Uninsured rates tick upwards since passage of the Affordable Care Act
The Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs. Since the passage of Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, the uninsured rate for adults in the United States had been on a steady decline, until recently. In September 2019, the U.S. Census Bureau released data of health insurance coverage estimates for 2018. The data revealed that the uninsured rate rose by 0.6 percent in 2018 for adults, meaning that approximately 2 million more people were uninsured in 2018. The data also revealed that young adults have also seen an increase in uninsured rates and continue to have the highest uninsured rate overall. Alarmingly, the percentage of uninsured children increased by 0.6 percent, confirming earlier warnings from child health coverage experts. Among the increases for children, rates varied by geography and demographics. Those who are Hispanic and/or living in families with incomes at or above 400 percent of the federal poverty level, and children in southern states, were more likely to be ...

The Obama administration also announced that Americans unable to sign up by March 31 could request an extension through April 15, which could further drive down the uninsured rate in the second quarter of 2014, Gallup reported. Additionally, other provisions of the health care law have not yet gone into effect, such as the requirement for employers to provide health insurance to their employees by 2015. These provisions also may affect the uninsured rate over time.. However, despite making young adults a top priority for enrollment, the uninsured rate among 18 to 25 year olds did not fall drastically. The rate among 18 to 25 year olds fell to 21.7 percent in Q1 2014 while the rate among adults aged 26 to 34 dropped to 26.4 percent. For those aged 35 to 64, the uninsured rate fell to 16.1 percent, reported Gallup.

Rural health leaders experience firsthand how lack of health insurance negatively impacts community health, and they have worked tirelessly for decades to collaborate at the state and local levels to address the question of how best to care for uninsured people. People who lack health insurance coverage have a harder time obtaining the care they need because of cost. National studies show that people who are uninsured are less likely to obtain preventive screening or care for chronic conditions. Uninsured individuals are thus more likely to be hospitalized for preventable conditions, to be diagnosed with late-stage cancer, and to die prematurely than are those with insurance coverage [11]. North Carolina data confirm that adults without health insurance are more likely to report being in fair or poor health, less likely to visit a doctor for a routine visit, less likely to see a doctor when they need care, and less likely to report having a personal doctor than are those with insurance coverage. ...

Survey Finds Nearly Half of US Adults Uninsured in 2012Survey Finds Nearly Half of US Adults Uninsured in 2012
Nearly half of working-age adults, or 84 million adults aged 18-64, were uninsured for at least part of 2012, say authors of a report based on findings from the Commonwealth Fund Biennial Health Insurance Survey of 2012. The survey also found that the number of young adults aged 19-25 without insurance decreased from 13.6 million to 11.7 million, or from 48% to 41% from 2010 to 2012. Nearly 40 million (75%) of low-income workers (incomes under 133% of the federal poverty level) were uninsured or underinsured in 2012; almost 21 million (59%) of moderate-income workers (incomes 133%-249% of poverty level) were underinsured; and 41% of working adults (75 million people) had trouble paying their medical bills or were paying down medical debts in 2012..

Mass Screening in Low-Income Populations: The Challenges of Securing Diagnostic and Treatment Services in a National Cancer...Mass Screening in Low-Income Populations: The Challenges of Securing Diagnostic and Treatment Services in a National Cancer...
Funding for many mass screening programs for low-income and uninsured populations provides resources for screening tests, yet only rarely does it provide coverage for necessary follow-up diagnostic and treatment services. The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), a federally funded initiative that provides cancer screening to low-income uninsured and under-insured women, covers some diagnostic follow-up tests and no treatment services. We conducted in-depth case studies of seven state programs participating in the NBCCEDP to investigate the strategies and approaches being used to secure diagnostic and treatment services. The results suggest that the program relies on a patchwork of resources-at state and local levels-to provide diagnostic and treatment services. This includes a number of components of local safety nets, all of which are unstable and have uncertain futures. Public health disease-screening initiatives need to reconsider the feasibility of continued ...

Community Report No. 10Community Report No. 10
emand for charity care grew in Orange County during the recession, and the safety net expanded in response. Safety net hospitals reported increasing uncompensated care spending over the last few years, and patient volume at community clinics reportedly rose significantly. In particular, safety net providers experienced growth in unexpected uninsured patients, referring to more middle-income people who recently lost their jobs and health insurance. As one clinic director reported, The volume of calls [from people] trying to become our patients has drastically increased. Services to low-income people (Medi-Cal enrollees and the uninsured) also are more dispersed among hospitals. Respondents indicated that, beyond its operation of two federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), UCI has pulled back somewhat from its longstanding role as the main safety net hospital, for example, by reportedly resisting referrals of uninsured patients from health centers and clinics. Reportedly, other hospitals have ...

Uninsured patients require creative discharge plans.Uninsured patients require creative discharge plans.
Case managers are being challenged to find a discharge destination for patients who are uninsured or underinsured and who need services after hospitalization.These patients often stay in the hospital longer than necessary, at the hospitals expense. Case managers should develop a network of community resources that can assist with care for unfunded patients after discharge. In some cases, it makes sense for the hospital to pay for a lower level of care rather than keeping patients in acute care beds that could be occupied by paying patients. Case managers often are under pressure to move patients through the continuum of care, making it a challenge to create an effective discharge plan for patients with limited financial resources. Many unfunded patients are eligible for financial assistance with their healthcare needs, but they arent aware of it and dont know how to apply ...

How does lack of insurance affect access to health care?How does lack of insurance affect access to health care?
Lack of health coverage, even for short periods of time, results in decreased access to care. Research has shown that adults who experience gaps in their health insurance coverage are less likely to have a regular source of care or to be up to date with blood pressure or cholesterol checks than those with continuous coverage.19 Research also indicates that children who are uninsured for part of the year have more access problems than those with full-year coverage.20,21 Similarly, adults who lack insurance for an entire year have poorer access to care than those who have coverage for at least part of the year, suggesting that even a short period of coverage can improve access to care.22. Research demonstrates that gaining health insurance improves access to health care considerably and diminishes the adverse effects of having been uninsured. A seminal study of a Medicaid expansion in Oregon found that uninsured adults who gained Medicaid coverage were more likely to have an outpatient visit or ...

ew York s recent public insurance expansions have reinforced an already strong local health care safety net and helped to keep the overall uninsurance rate in Syracuse relatively low over the past year, despite a modest decline in the local economy. In 2001 the state implemented Family Health Plus, a new Medicaid expansion program, which covers uninsured parents earning less than 150 percent of the federal poverty level and childless adults earning less than 100 percent of poverty who do not otherwise qualify for Medicaid.. During the same period, the state launched Healthy New York, which provides reduced-cost insurance for uninsured individuals, small businesses and the self-employed. New York also expanded eligibility for the Elderly Pharmaceutical Insurance Coverage (EPIC) program, the state s pharmacy program for low-income seniors. Collectively, these programs have expanded insurance options significantly for uninsured and underinsured Syracuse residents.. Alongside these insurance ...

Hospital Cost Amongst the Insured Vs Uninsured | My BlogHospital Cost Amongst the Insured Vs Uninsured | My Blog
Most people assume that if they have to go to the hospital that it will be a costly experience. While this thought process has some merit, it becomes a bit more complicated when you consider the disparity in hospital cost amongst insured vs. uninsured. Hospitals charge the highest fees to those who are uninsured. Fees can range from 2 times to 5 times more than those fees charged to individuals who are insured. In fact, those who are insured or those who are on Medicare typically receive discounted medical services. There are instances where hospitals provide self pay discounts. However, many times these discounts mean little or nothing when you consider the initial rate that a self pay individual is charged. When a person has insurance, the insurance companies will often negotiate bills for the insured (if the charged price seems excessive). That being the case, hospitals will typically charge a reasonable price (initially) for those who are insured. On the other hand, if you are not ...

Insured vs Uninsured - The Segregation of American Health Care - Antioxidants-anti-aging-super-foods.com
At the point when an individual calls a restorative specialist for an arrangement, the primary inquiry of the medicinal office staff is if the individual has health care coverage. In the event that the individual doesnt have medical coverage, the mentality of the workplace staff changes drastically. A ton of times the individual is asked grating and intrusive budgetary inquiries. Money installment is mentioned before the visit will be booked, or at the hour of the visit preceding administrations being given. Some therapeutic workplaces will not give restorative consideration if there is no medical coverage and the individual cant pay money ahead of time. Uninsured individuals looking for medicinal care face shame since they cant come up with all required funds for therapeutic administrations without advantage of a regularly scheduled installment plan. They are made to feel like their wellbeing doesnt make a difference since they are uninsured. In certain emergency clinics and doctors ...

How to tackle the problem of 47 million Americans without health insurance? Start with the more than 8 million uninsured children.. Start with the children and work up from there. For corporate America and Washington policy experts, that seems to be the emerging consensus about how to begin tackling the problem of the 47 million people in this country without health insurance: Start with the more than 8 million uninsured children.. Then maybe add four million college students who do not have insurance but might not cost all that much to cover because they tend to be young and healthy.. Next might come the 1.4 million or so uninsured people in households with total income at least $75,000, who are perhaps in a position to purchase insurance - if insurance became mandatory and if a market for affordable personal policies was created.. Those are among the ideas arising from corporate America as change in the nations health insurance system seems increasingly to become a political ...

IWF -The New American: Healthcare Law to Fine Hospitals That Provide Free Services to PoorIWF -The New American: Healthcare Law to Fine Hospitals That Provide Free Services to Poor
by Raven Clabough. President Obamas healthcare law is full of increased costs to taxpayers, in the form of taxes, higher premiums, and of course, fines. In fact, the healthcare law may punish charitable hospitals for treating uninsured Americans by issuing large fines to those institutions that continue to provide treatment to uninsured Americans.. The Daily Caller reported, A new provision in Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code, which takes effect under Obamacare, sets new standards of review and installs new financial penalties for tax-exempt charitable hospitals, which devote a minimum amount of their expenses to treat uninsured poor people.. With approximately 60 percent of American hospitals classified as nonprofit, this can prove to be a substantial amount of money in penalties. Hospitals that fail to meet the new standards could face fines upwards of $50,000.. John Kartch of the Americans for Tax Reform added that the law requires tax-exempt hospitals to regularly prove that they ...

A challenging two-step: cutting costs and covering the uninsured - Center for Public IntegrityA challenging two-step: cutting costs and covering the uninsured - Center for Public Integrity
A valid criticism of the Affordable Care Act is that it doesnt do enough to control health care costs. While there are a number of the laws provisions that should help - such as the requirement that Medicare reduce payments to hospitals that have a high rate of readmissions - the major focus of the ACA was reducing the number of uninsured Americans by establishing new guidelines for how health insurance companies operate.. That was the same focus of the bill former governor Mitt Romney signed into law in Massachusetts in 2006, which is why there are so many similarities between Romneycare and Obamacare. Both, for example, sought to increase coverage by expanding Medicaid for low-income individuals and families, by prohibiting insurers from using health status when pricing policies, and by offering tax credits to help moderate income people buy insurance. Both also include an individual mandate - a requirement that most folks must enroll in a health plan or pay a penalty.. Lawmakers in ...

Ron Pauls Former Campaign Manager Died Uninsured, Free - Duly NotedRon Pauls Former Campaign Manager Died Uninsured, Free - Duly Noted
At CNNs Tea Party debate on Monday, Wolf Blitzer asked presidential hopeful Ron Paul what should happen to a 30-year-old uninsured man who needs expensive medical care. Should the state pay?. Thats what freedom is all about: taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to take care of everybody- Paul began, before he was drowned out by hoots of glee from the audience. Blitzer asked if we should just let the guy die, which drew cheers from the crowd. Paul allowed that maybe churches could step in and fill the void.. In light of that exchange, Truthout revisited the tragic story of the death of Pauls 2008 campaign manager, Kent Snyder. Synder died penniless and uninsured of viral pneumonia at the age of 49, two weeks after Paul ended his presidential campaign. His friends started a website to help his mother pay the $400,000 in medical bills he left behind.. After a few weeks of fundraising theyd raised $32,000. At the rate they were going, we can predict that someone else ended up ...

I have a friend, Patty, who worked as a waitress to pay her way through college. She worked hard and studied hard, so when she got sick and couldnt get better, she just chalked it up to stress. For two years, Patty was chronically ill with mysterious and debilitating symptoms. She knew she should go to the doctor, but she didnt have health insurance through work, and she couldnt afford to buy insurance and pay for rent and tuition at the same time. Eventually, Patty ended up in the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Since she had not gotten care for so long she had to immediately have surgery, which left her with $10,000 in medical debt.. Patty is just one of the 8.4 million Californians who lack health insurance.

President Bidens January 28th executive order to reopen enrollment in the federal ACA Marketplace from February 15 through May 15, combined with $50 million in federal spending on outreach and education about ACA coverage options, has the potential to reach millions of people who were uninsured prior to or have lost coverage during the pandemic. As of 2019, there were 29 million non-elderly uninsured people, and the majority (57%) were eligible for financial assistance through the ACA Marketplaces (33%) or Medicaid (25%). KFF estimates indicate that nearly nine million uninsured people could be eligible for free or subsidized Marketplace coverage during the new enrollment period. Importantly, these actions to facilitate enrollment in ACA Marketplace coverage will also likely lead eligible low-income people to enroll in Medicaid coverage. Blog Read More ...

Hello, my name is James Bridge. Im with the attorneys office of Bailey & Galyen. Iv been a personal injury attorney for 22 years. I would like to discuss with you, the difference between uninsured motorist and undersinsured motorist coverages. Uninsured coverages are if youre hit by someone who does not have liability coverages. This coverage allows you to collect for your lost wages, your medical damages, and any pain & suffering that you might incur as a result of someone elses negligence.. Underinsured coverages are if you are hit by someone who doesnt have enough coverages to cover you for your damages, and therefore you have to go to your own policy to recover for those same damages that that person caused.. Theres always been a question of people saying Do I need to have UIM coverages?. That includes underinsured and uninsured coverages. Yes, you do. The reason for that, is very obvious. If youre hit by somebody that is not covered by insurance, you wanna have and make sure that ...

Similarly, Georgias decision not to expand Medicaid left many of these patients uninsured. Yet there are provisions within the ACA that helped increase access and improve care delivery.

Another way, beyond pay and employment, that many Americans feel marginalized involves access to healthcare. Regardless of who you blame for outcomes that leave Americans uninsured, millions of Americans in this country remain without access to healthcare coverage. Once again, those numbers show significant differences by age and race. In June 2016, the uninsured rate in the U.S. stood at 8.9 percent overall. For Americans 18-24, that number stood at 14.1 percent, despite provisions in the Affordable Care Act that allows individuals 26 and under to remain on their parents insurance. Among Americans 18-64, the uninsured rate nationally was 12.4 percent. That figure was only 8.7 percent for white Americans. Communities of color saw a much different scenario. Black Americans were uninsured at a rate of 14.8 percent, while Latinos were uninsured at twice the national average-24.8 percent!. How the economically marginalized voted.

Sources of Health Insurance and Characteristics of the Uninsured: Analysis of the March 2000 Current Population Survey | EBRI
Despite expansions in the State Childrens Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP), public health insurance coverage did not increase overall between 1998 and 1999. The percentage of nonelderly Americans covered by Medicaid and other government-sponsored health insurance coverage did not change between 1998 and 1999, though some children benefited from expansions in government-funded programs. The percentage of children in families just above the poverty level without health insurance coverage declined dramatically, from 27.2 percent uninsured in 1998 to 19.7 percent uninsured in 1999. Some of the decline can be attributed to expansions in Medicaid and S-CHIP, but it appears that expansions in employment-based health insurance and individually purchased coverage had an even larger effect than expansion of S-CHIP ...

The Uninsured & Universal Healthcare: Support (Part 2)
In this second post on the uninsured and the potential for universal healthcare, I discuss the pragmatic realities of our current healthcare system, other countries universal healthcare systems, and the incredible lack of understanding amongst the American populace about the differences.. I will not try to sugar coat the first issue, despite my opposition to universal health coverage. Study after study has concluded that the uninsured do not receive the same standard of care in this country as the insured do. Emergency care is obviously available, but ERs and county hospitals are poor treatment centers for chronic illnesses and the likes which, along with un- or late diagnosed major diseases such as hypertension and cancer, account for the increase in mortality seen from the insured to the uninsured.. Here is an article on an Institute of Medicine study on the issue.. What is surprising is that, in surveys, the majority of Americans with insurance believe that the uninsured receive healthcare ...

Philadelphia dermatologist recognized for providing free care for uninsured patientsPhiladelphia dermatologist recognized for providing free care for uninsured patients
Rosemont, Ill. - The American Academy of Dermatology has named board-certified dermatologist Cory Simpson, MD, PhD, FAAD, as a Patient Care Hero for his work providing free dermatologic care to uninsured patients in Philadelphia. Dr. Simpson and his colleagues at Penn Dermatology use teledermatology- technology that can facilitate the remote diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions -to help patients at the Puentes de Salud (Bridges of Health) community health clinic. The mobile phone-based platform allows dermatologists to view photos of skin, hair, or nail conditions sent electronically by primary care physicians and other providers and give treatment recommendations and arrange follow-up care if needed. The Penn team of volunteer dermatologists also holds in-person appointments with patients with more complex disease or who do not see improvement despite initial recommendations. All of the clinics patients lack insurance and most are immigrants who face cultural, language, and financial ...

Most low-income households now have access to public programs but many fail to take advantage of them. Virtually all children from low-income families are now eligible for Medicaid or the various State Childrens Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP). Yet the parents of about 7.7 million eligible children failed to enroll them. The Urban Institute found that 88 percent of these parents knew about the health insurance programs for poor children, but less than one-fourth had ever attempted to enroll their children or even inquire about the programs. The Urban Institute found that 40 percent of those who had not inquired and 16 percent who inquired and didnt apply said they did not need or want the programs ...

Minorities and the uninsured have been found to have higher mortality rates for blunt and penetrating trauma. However, mechanisms for these disparities are incompletely understood. Limiting the inquiry to a homogenous group, those with lower extremity vascular injuries (LEVIs), may clarify these disparities. Methods: The National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB; version 7.0, American College of Surgeons) was used for this study.

Insurance Improves ICU Survival Rate | Managed Care magazineInsurance Improves ICU Survival Rate | Managed Care magazine
Adult patients without health insurance admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in Pennsylvania hospitals are at a 21 percent increased risk of death compared to similar patients with private insurance, according to researchers at the University of Pennsylvania. The difference in mortality risk was not explained by patient characteristics or differences in care at the hospital level, suggesting that uninsured patients might receive poorer care.. Compared to similar patients with private insurance or Medicaid, uninsured ICU patients were also less likely to receive certain common critical care procedures, including placement of central venous catheters, tracheostomies, and acute hemodialysis.. Previous studies suggested that uninsured critically ill patients may have a higher mortality, and may be less likely to receive certain critical care procedures, says Sarah M. Lyon, MD, pulmonary and critical care fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. But we found that these differences are ...

Maine Voices: Medicaid expansion funds will benefit older uninsured Mainers - Portland Press HeraldMaine Voices: Medicaid expansion funds will benefit older uninsured Mainers - Portland Press Herald
Under the Affordable Care Act, the federal government will pay the entire cost of covering newly eligible individuals for three years beginning in 2014 and 90 percent starting in 2020. This would provide health care coverage to thousands of Maine residents who would otherwise be uninsured in 2014. It is important to emphasize that these are federal dollars already set aside for the state of Maine to expand health care. By accepting the federal funds, Maine can help hardworking people who have lost their health insurance get Medicaid health coverage if their incomes are less than approximately $15,000 a year, or 138 percent of the federal poverty level.. Through this measure, 69,500 Maine people who are not currently insured could qualify for health care coverage, including the more than 16,300 Mainers ages 50 to 64 who have lost their jobs or are working in jobs without health benefits. Unexpectedly losing a job is tough at the best of times, but studies show that it takes longer for older ...

Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Safety-net Health System With a Focus on the Uninsured: Benefits and Costs - Full...Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening in a Safety-net Health System With a Focus on the Uninsured: Benefits and Costs - Full...
Colon cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Screening can prevent CRC death, but screening rates are suboptimal, especially for vulnerable populations such as those with limited or no health insurance. This striking public health challenge demands urgent implementation of evidence-based strategies to reduce avoidable CRC death.. Prior research has shown that a direct-to-consumer strategy of inviting patients by mail to complete CRC screening may result in increased rates of screening completion. However, this approach has not been tested extensively in vulnerable populations, such as the under/uninsured, and minority populations often cared for by safety-net health systems. Further, it is unclear whether patients are more likely to participate in one CRC screening test versus another. Knowing this is important to designing programs for increasing screening. For example, the planning and resources required for a screening program with colonoscopy--which is a ...

Fact Sheet: Hospital Costs Explained | AHA
In 2018, two-thirds of hospitals lost money providing care to Medicare and Medicaid patients and about one-third of hospitals were operating on negative operating margins (see chart).. Americas hospitals are faced with mounting financial challenges. Government programs like Medicare and Medicaid pay hospitals less than the cost of caring for the beneficiaries these programs cover while insurance companies negotiate deep discounts with hospitals. The growing numbers of uninsured and underinsured further complicate this financial picture. While there are government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid disproportionate hospital payments designed to help hospitals with the cost of treating low-income and uninsured patients, it is not enough to cover the cost of care.. These inequities in payment leave hospitals with a challenging balancing act. Hospitals must ensure that the payments they receive for care from all sources exceed the costs of providing that care. A hospital cannot continue to lose ...

CareNow is hosting its fourth large scale health care clinic this weekend. But Donald Manelli, CareNows president and founder, would like to see the event becomes obsolete. Its kind of an ad hoc solution to a problem that one hopes will go away eventually, he said. Its kind of a barn-raising. Its kind of the community coming together to help people in great need. More than 2 million people in Los Angeles are uninsured, and another 2 million are on Medicaid. Shana Alex Lavarreda of UCLAs Center for Health Policy Research says that the clinic is a Band-Aid approach, but still necessary. We need some extra Band-Aid to at least to get us through at least some initial period before health care reform will hopefully cover many of these uninsured people in a good health insurance program, she said. But its certainly not an ideal situation. We need something more sustainable. We need something that can actually be a system over time that can handle the capacity of the health care needs of ...

The Pro-Choice Public Education Project : Medicaid and Womens Reproductive HealthThe Pro-Choice Public Education Project : Medicaid and Womens Reproductive Health
Since the average cost of having a baby today is over $8,800, access to affordable, quality, comprehensive health care is a critical component in a womans decision whether to parent a child. Also many medical conditions are aggravated by pregnancy including sickle-cell disease, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure, so for a woman with these and other conditions, the costs can be far higher.. Women of reproductive age (15-44) are the most likely of any demographic group to lack health insurance. Medicaid, a federal and state program that provides health insurance for certain low-income individuals, helps fill that gap. Approximately seven million women of reproductive age rely on Medicaid; and women comprise 71% of the programs adult insurees. Medicaid helps guarantee that low-income women have an equal right to health care and the ability to control their reproductive destiny.. Through Medicaid, women can access a wide range of services including pregnancy-related care, ...

Goldsboro News-Argus | News: Hospital to raise rates by 5 percentGoldsboro News-Argus | News: Hospital to raise rates by 5 percent
The board of directors at Wayne Memorial Hospital has approved a 5 percent rate increase as part of the hospitals $191 million budget for fiscal year 2012. The lingering recession, an increasing number of uninsured patients and continued pressure from Medicaid for payments are just a few of the contributing factors that went into the proposed budget, hospital officials said. The 5 percent rate increase is necessary to cover higher costs and to position Wayne Memorial as a quality, locally controlled hospital in the future, said William Paugh, hospital president. Positive margins are required to protect the hospitals ability to finance long-term projects with long-term debt. Two areas that could see increases in the coming year are admissions and outpatient volumes. At the same time, officials said, the growing numbers reflect more uninsured patients, leading to more charity and bad debt cases. We think admissions, after several years of slight declines, are going to rise slightly -- 2.2 ...

Ideological sensibilities? Excuse me? Oh, well.. One thing that strikes me square in the jaw about the states rights argument is this: For the last 26 years, states have been able, with federal waiver approval, to craft their own Medicaid programs as long as the results are revenue neutral and comply with minimum requirements.. By way of explanation, Medicaid has been with us since 30 July 1965 when President Johnson signed it and Medicare into law. Medicaid has been a lifeline for the poor who, prior to the Affordable Care Act, were mostly uninsured for health care. The ER was their primary care physician. The Act had a number of goals, one of which was to lower the number of uninsured and underinsured Americans. Since these people were nearly all of the lower income variety, the Act provided federal funding for states to expand Medicaid. Thirty-one states plus the District of Columbia did that. And the numbers of uninsured dropped significantly in those states.. In 1991, the Social Security ...

A new federal report estimates about 6 million people will pay a penalty because they are uninsured in 2016, a figure that includes uninsured dependents who have the penalty paid on their behalf. Total collections will be about $7 billion in 2016 and average about $8 billion per year over the 2017-2022 period.. The penalty will be the greater of a flat dollar amount per person that rises from $95 in 2014 and $325 in 2015 to $695 in 2016 and is indexed by inflation thereafter (the penalty for children will be half that amount and an overall cap will apply to family payments) or a percentage of the households income that rises to 2.5% for 2016 and subsequent years (also subject to a cap). The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimate that about 30 million nonelderly residents will be uninsured in 2016, but the majority of them will not be subject to the penalty tax.
