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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because private health insurance is generally obtained through employment, workers who lose their jobs face a significant risk of becoming uninsured. The Congress, in the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), addressed that issue by requiring firms with 20 or more employees to continue offering health coverage to workers who separate from the firm. However, firms may charge former employees slightly more than the full group premium for that continued coverage. Given that employers typically contribute most of the premium for active workers as part of employee compensation, former employees may face a large increase in their out-of-pocket premiums if they lose their jobs. Some firms continue to pay their customary share of the health insurance premiums for workers for a short period of time after a layoff, but those employer-subsidized benefits last only for a limited time. Other firms do not provide such extensions. Sooner or later, accepting coverage under the COBRA provisions generally means a manyfold increase in the explicit premium faced by the worker. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that about 19 million workers will be unemployed for at least some time during fiscal year 1998. About 7.5 million of those workers will go at least a month without health insurance during a spell of unemployment. Of those 7.5 million workers, almost 2.5 million will have had insurance in their most recent month of work; the other 5 million will not have been insured even when they were working. Although many unemployed people will go through some period without insurance, an even larger proportion of them--about 11.5 million unemployed workers--will have health coverage throughout their spell of unemployment. To target initiatives toward particular groups who may be prone to not having insurance, some policymakers have proposed that the federal government provide health insurance subsidies for the unemployed.

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.
