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 EBRI s Spring Policy Forum written by John A. MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Employee Benefit Research Institute May 2010 policy forum addressed the topic “Retirement Income Adequacy: How Big Is the Gap and How Might the Market Respond?” This was EBRI's 66th policy forum, which brought about 100 policy and professional experts to Washington, DC, in May 2010, to discuss new research on retirement income adequacy. This paper provides highlights of the new research and experts' reactions to it. EBRI has been providing assessments of national retirement income adequacy using its proprietary Retirement Security Projection Model® (RSPM) since 2003. The 2010 EBRI Retirement Readiness RatingTM (RRR), based on the model, provides a benchmark for every American and their prospects for having sufficient resources to cover basic expenses and uninsured health expenses in retirement. This latest update includes consideration of the effects of automatic enrollment, auto escalation of contributions, and qualified default investments in terms of higher rates of participation, deferrals, and investment diversification. The 2010 EBRI RRRTM finds that almost two-thirds (64 percent) of Americans in the two lowest preretirement income levels will have insufficient resources to cover basic expenses and uninsured health costs after 10 years in retirement. Almost a third (29 percent) of those in the next-to-highest income level will run short of money to cover basic expenses and uninsured health costs after 20 years in retirement, as will more than 1 in 10 (13 percent) of those in the highest-income level. By age group, almost one-half of the Early Baby Boomer cohort (those now ages 56-62) are at risk of running short of money to cover basic expenditures in retirement. The PDF for the above title, published in the August 2010 issue of EBRI Notes, also contains the fulltext of another August 2010 EBRI Notes article abstracted on SSRN: “Coverage of Dependent Children to Age 26 Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.”

Download or read book Reinsuring Health written by Katherine Swartz and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2006-05-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's current system of health insurance, which relies almost exclusively on employer-sponsored coverage, is in danger of collapse, and this problem is not limited to the poor and working class. An increasing number of middle class Americans do not have employer-provided insurance and—due to skyrocketing premiums—cannot afford to purchase coverage for themselves. Reinsuring Health, by economist Katherine Swartz, examines this growing national crisis and outlines a concrete plan to make health insurance accessible and affordable for all Americans. Reinsuring Health documents why the number of uninsured Americans—now 45.5 million people—has grown in the last twenty-five years. Swartz focuses on how labor market changes—such as the decline of domestic manufacturing, decreased unionization, and the growth of non-standard work arrangements—have led U.S. employers to retreat from providing health insurance for their workers. These trends, combined with the increasing costs of medical care, have led to an explosion in health insurance premiums and a decline in coverage, particularly among the middle-class. Since those who seek insurance as individuals are generally most likely to need health care, private insurers charge higher premiums in the individual (non-group) markets than to people who obtain group insurance. This makes individual health insurance less attractive to the young and increasingly unaffordable for middle-class Americans. Similarly, insurers charge higher per person (or per family) premiums to small firms than to large companies, so many small firms do not sponsor coverage for their employees. Reinsuring Health shows how these problems can be overcome if the federal government provides a new reinsurance program which would protect insurance companies that provide small group and individual health insurance against the possibility that their policy-holders will incur very high medical expenses. By assuming some of the risk that people will face extremely costly medical bills, the government will make insurers less hesitant to offer coverage to high-risk individuals, and will help drive down premiums for others. Reinsuring Health demonstrates that this form of government reinsurance has worked in the past, helping to establish smooth running private markets for catastrophe insurance and secondary mortgages. Today, growing numbers of middle class Americans lack health insurance. Protection against the possibility of falling ill or getting hurt and having to pay extraordinary health care bills should not be a luxury available only to the very rich and the very poor. Reinsuring Health proposes a straightforward solution that would bring health insurance back within the reach of the increasing ranks of the uninsured, particularly those who are in the middle class.

Download or read book Human Behavior in the Social Environment written by Rudolph Alexander and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2010 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Macro, National, and International Perspective is a textbook for one of the primary courses in the social work curriculum titled Human Behavior in the Social Environment. The course is offered usually over two semesters, with one focusing on micro issues (how the individual develops in relation to their social enviroment on an individual, family, and group level). The second section of the course typically focuses on macro issues pertaining to how an individual is shaped by their social environment by macro issues including social institutions, community, and the government. This book is intended for the second sequence of the course. It takes a unique approach by incorporating international issues of globalization, which has been an emerging issue in social work. Although it takes this unique perspective, it still covers the basics of macro social work on a national level. Other important areas that are not well represented in competing texts includes coverage of rural issues, the impact of hurricane Katrina on social and community resources, human rights and social justice, the increasing impact of increasing rates of incarceration, and a special section focusing on crisis theory. This book has a number of key selling points. They include: A broad national and international perspective A timely approach that examines issues such as rural communities, the impact of disaster on communities, and increasing incarceration rates Provides special emphasis on human needs and social justice End of chapter discussion questions A student glossary Chapter opening photos An appendix that includes three additonal higher level macro theories which would make the book applicable to Master's level program This book will also contain a number of features that are essential for any book to be adopted in a HBSE course. They include: End of chapter discussion questions Instructor's manual featuring powerpoint slides and a test bank Student study site for recommended reading, chapter summaries, and flash cards
