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.Medically uninsured personsUnited StatesHealth insuranceUnited StatesMedical careUnited StatesMedically uninsured personsHealth insuranceMedical care368.38200973MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954507603321Coverage matters4362887UNINA
