For a large fraction of Americans their jobs do not provide health insurance or other benefits and although government programs are available for children, adults without private health care coverage have few options. Detailed ethnographic and survey data from selected low-income neighborhoods in Boston, Chicago, and San Antonio document the lapses in medical coverage that poor families experience and reveal the extent of untreated medical conditions, delayed treatment, medical indebtedness, and irregular health care that women and children suffer as a result. Extensive poverty, the increasing proportion of minority households, and the growing dependence on insecure service sector work all influence access to health care for families at the economic margin.PoorMedical careUnited StatesFinancePoorMedical careGovernment policyUnited StatesMedically uninsured personsMedical careUnited StatesFinanceHealth insuranceUnited StatesFinanceHealth services accessibilityEconomic aspectsUnited StatesEqualityHealth aspectsUnited StatesRight to healthUnited StatesPoorMedical careFinance.PoorMedical careGovernment policyMedically uninsured personsMedical careFinance.Health insuranceFinance.Health services accessibilityEconomic aspectsEqualityHealth aspectsRight to health362.5/82Angel Ronald1512801Lein LauraHenrici JaneUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910784307003321Poor families in America's health care crisis3746919UNINA
