Book excerpt: Access to health care in North Dakota, a frontier state, has been a widely debated policy issue. Historically, the focus of North Dakota health policy efforts has been directed to issues pertaining to the provision of health care services. During the economic recession of the I 980s, an out-migration of North Dakota residents left the state with a smaller population in 1990 than it had in 1930, the only state to experience this population shift. In response to these demographic shifts, the North Dakota Health Task Force was formed to develop a health care reform strategy that addressed geographical and financial health care access issues. Over 2,000 North Dakota families were surveyed to provide the Task Force and other policy makers with information about North Dakota residents' health insurance coverage and health care utilization. The purpose of this research was to examine what variables impact access to health insurance coverage and utilization of health care services in North Dakota. Three access areas were addressed: financial, geographical and cultural. To examine financial access, health insurance coverage was examined. Among the non-institutionalized ND residents, the greatest proportion of uninsured were young adults; although, all North Dakotans were found to be at risk. The health insurance findings mirrored many other studies' findings in which males, part-time workers and rural dwellers were the most likely to go without insurance. In addition, health insurance appears to serve as a gatekeeper for obtaining health care services. A surprising finding was that geographic barriers were not a hindrance to obtaining health care. Yet, Native Americans covered by Indian Health Service were less likely to obtain health care than the uninsured indicating there may be some cultural barriers for this population. Other findings included: the uninsured go without health care and report lower health status more frequently than the insured; poverty level is positively correlated with health status; among those with no regular source of health care, the insured report they do not need health care while the uninsured report they cannot afford it. Comparisons of rural and urban dwellers also are included in the analyses.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2013-14 interim, the Health Care Reform Review Committee is charged with performing three health care-related studies: Section 15 of House Bill No. 1012 (2013) directs the Legislative Management to consider studying the immediate needs and challenges of the North Dakota health care delivery system, implementing the Healthy North Dakota initiative, examining Medicaid reform, and the feasibility of developing a plan for a private health care model that will comply with federal health care reform in a manner that will provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable care for North Dakota. In performing the study, the legislative management may consider population shifts, facility needs, personnel needs, rural access, regulatory public health functions, and vulnerable populations; determine the scope of the weakness in the current health care system; take into account the ongoing impact that federal health care reform under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) is having on state delivery of health care and on state delivery of Medicaid; and consider how to forge partnerships with federal payers and regulators in order to work toward addressing medical reimbursement system reform. Section 1 of House Bill No. 1034 (2013) directs the Legislative Management to study health care reform options, including the implementation of the ACA if the federal law remains in effect and state alternatives for state-based health care reform if the federal law is repealed. As part of this study, the Insurance Commissioner, State Department of Health, and Department of Human Services shall provide status reports on the state of health insurance and health-related public assistance. Section 3 of House Bill No. 1362 (2013) directs the Legislative Management to consider studying the effects of the ACA, due to the dramatically changing health care system in the state, including alternatives to the ACA and the Medicaid expansion provisions to make health care more accessible and affordable to the citizens of the state, including access, the cost of providing services, the Medicare penalty to the state's providers, and the Medicaid payment system.

Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
