Book excerpt: The Covering Kids & Families (CKF) initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation had two goals: to increase the amount of uninsured children and adults enrolled in Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and to discover ways to sustain the increase after the program's end. This report examines trends in Medicaid and SCHIP enrollment in Oregon between 1999 and 2004, during which time CFK was in operation. In 1999, Oregon entered a budget crisis situation and by the end of 2001 the state had the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 7.5 percent. Key Findings * The Office of Medical Assistance Programs experienced budget cuts that adversely affected the implementation of the Oregon Health Plan. * Changes in state policies restricted adult coverage in public health programs, which had significant spillover effects on the number of children entering such insurance programs. * Enrollment of children in public health programs dwindled. The authors acknowledge that although CFK did not meet its goals in Oregon, circumstances in the state have since improved. In March 2006, the governor announced a new program called Healthy Kids funded by a tobacco tax that will provide children health coverage to 18 years.

This book was released on 1974 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the level of available resources, the use of available resources, and the degree of planning and personal perception of the situation of four female heads of households under 60 years old and four households with male heads over 65 years old. The study was conducted in the Badger Mountain census division of Lane County, Oregon. The case study method was used in this study. An average of seven and one-half hours were spent with each household with an average of three hours per visit. All households contacted cooperated and followed through with the study. The female heads had a mean age of 40.0 years, with a mean of 2.25 children. They had a mean of 9.25 years of schooling and two had some vocational training. Only one had a part-time job; the other three were primarily dependent on Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) grants for financial support. Other sources of monetary resources were Social Security, veterans benefits, food stamps, and child support payments. Total yearly monetary income ranged from $3,074 to $3,981. The major asset for two households was equity in their home. For the other two, home furnishings was the major asset. No insurance or savings were held by any household with a female head. Non-money income ranged from $300 to $3,235 per year. Community resources were used to varying degrees by all. However, planning and budgeting was practiced by only two of the households. There was an indication of hope and effort to become more self sufficient in all four cases. The male heads of households had a mean age of 79.0 years; their spouses' was 71.25 years. Mean grade in school completed was 7.2 years for the male heads and 8.2 for their spouses. All the male heads had vocational training, two of their spouses also had some. The households consisted of only husband and wife in all four cases. One household was still engaged in income producing work; all four households depended mainly on Social Security payments for financial support. Other sources of monetary resources were Veteran's benefits, sale of farm and garden produce, sale of handicrafts, food stamps, and "water witching." Total monetary resources ranged from $2,296 to $4,136. Major assets for the four households were equity in their home, automobile, and savings. Non-money income ranged from $1,931 to $3,930 per year. All four households had a garden to supplement food bought from the stores. The level of use of community resources was related to the level of involvement with the home /farm. Planning and budgeting was practiced to some degree by all four households. An air of optimism prevailed, but apprehension about future health problems was also present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Reform Policy to Practice: Oregon as a Case Study for a Path to a Comprehensive and Sustainable Health Delivery Model offers a real world example of an innovative, successful and comprehensive program conducted by the U.S. State of Oregon. In 1991, Oregon embarked on a journey to improve health for all its citizens by radically re-thinking how to approach health care for long-term benefits. Over more than two decades, Oregonians have participated in a dialogue to create a new approach to solve the dilemma of providing high quality health care that is affordable and effective. Traditionally, health care reform looked at cutting people from care, cutting provider rates or cutting services. Oregon's approach is unique in that it built a new system of delivery from the ground (community) up. The Oregon model took a "Fourth Path to health care by redesigning the clinical delivery system through reducing waste, improving individual health and prevention, and therefore reducing utilization of services, creating local accountability, aligning financial incentives and creating fiscal accountability. This is not only an Oregon story, but a national one as other states, payers and purchasers implement health care reform. - Written by content experts who have been actively involved in health care reform efforts - Provides clear translation of current information and experience to implementation - Explores the potential impact of the Oregon experience on national and international health care reform efforts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.
