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.

Download DOES MANAGED CARE REDUCE PREVENTABLE HOSPITALIZATIONS IN THE MEDICARE POPULATION? THE IMPACT OF MEDICARE ADVANTAGE ON AMBULATORY CARE SENSITIVE HOSPITAL ADMISSIONS AND USE OF PREVENTIVE SERVICES Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
One controversial option to control growth in the rate of federal spending on health care is to transform Medicare into a "voucher" program for beneficiaries to purchase health insurance from managed care plans in the private market. Approximately one-quarter of Medicare beneficiaries are currently enrolled in a private health plan through Medicare Advantage, which has higher average costs than the traditional fee-for-service program but potentially reduces costly and unnecessary medical services by increasing the use of preventive care. Using a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) from 2006 to 2010, I compared the prevalence of potentially avoidable hospital admissions and use of preventive services for beneficiaries in Medicare Advantage to beneficiaries in the traditional fee-for-service program. Using propensity score estimation to control for observable bias, I found no relationship between enrollment in Medicare Advantage and potentially avoidable hospital admissions, and a significant but small positive relationship with use of select preventive services. Considered together, these findings suggest that Medicare Advantage may not achieve better health outcomes for beneficiaries than the traditional fee-for-service program. These findings have implications for policy discussions surrounding the future expansion of private managed care plans in the Medicare program.
