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.

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.

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 excerpt: Excerpt from Health Insurance Industry Practices: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, June 29 and August 3, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room 2123, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. John D. Dingell (chairman) presiding. Mr. Dingell. The subcommittee will come to order. Today the subcommittee will hold the first in an interesting series of hearings into the health insurance industry. During the course of this inquiry, the subcommittee will examine what role the multi-billion dollar industry plays in runaway health care costs, in access to health care, and in the quality of that care. This review is going to be thorough, and it is going to be exhaustive, and it will include the financial practices throughout the industry, who the players are, and how they, and their organizational structures and interrelationships are changing. The subcommittee will assess these matters in depth, and we intend to determine why the existing regulatory systems have let the insurance company bureaucrats have life or death power over too many ordinary citizens. Health care is too important to leave in the hands of powerful and unaccountable insurance companies. These companies are constrained only by a patchwork of regulatory policies that rest largely in the States and that differ dramatically from State to State and from company to company. This subcommittee knows only too well from its ongoing investigation into insurance company insolvencies that those regulations often are riddled with loopholes and their implementation is too often spotty and lackluster. The subcommittee knows, moreover, that many State regulators wage a daily uphill battle against powerful insurance lobbies that have attempted to strangle all State reform efforts. Today's hearing will focus on the activities of what many believe is the largest insurer offering individual health insurance policies. That company is Golden Rule Insurance Company - a nice name - headquartered in Lawrenceville, Illinois, and Indianapolis, Indiana. The company has been a controversial player and a controversial figure in a number of States, and depending upon who you talk to, is either a staunch advocate for consumers and political activism or a greedy predator feasting on a captive population.
