WHY ARE WE UNINSURED?

There are numerous difficulties faced by vulnerable populations in obtaining and using health care. These difficulties are important policy concerns, which becomes barriers that affects the disparity in promoting health care delivery in the workplace. The vulnerable populations addressed are the uninsured: a forgotten population. Uninsured people were less likely to get recommended care for disease prevention, such as cancer screening, dental care, counseling about diet and exercise, and flu vaccination. They also were less likely to get recommended care for disease management, such as diabetes care management (Mitka, 2004).

WHO ARE THE UNINSURED

46 million Americans are uninsured. About 1/3 U.S residents report problems access

to care, and about 2/3 had delayed care, because of problems in paying for health services; The uninsured were almost six times more likely than the insured to have postponed health care for a serious condition because they couldn't afford it.

♦ Uninsured pregnant women were at greatest risk for starting prenatal visits late and having an inadequate number of visits compared to both privately insured women and those with Medicaid; ♦ Among persons with severe mental illnesses, the uninsured were less likely to access needed health care than those covered by insurance; ♦ Lack of insurance was related to substandard care, such as using fewer procedures and having shorter inpatient stay than the insured.
