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. 606 $aPoor$xMedical care$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aPoor$xMedical care$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 606 $aMedically uninsured persons$xMedical care$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aHealth insurance$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aHealth services accessibility$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$xHealth aspects$zUnited States 606 $aRight to health$zUnited States 615 0$aPoor$xMedical care$xFinance. 615 0$aPoor$xMedical care$xGovernment policy 615 0$aMedically uninsured persons$xMedical care$xFinance. 615 0$aHealth insurance$xFinance. 615 0$aHealth services accessibility$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEquality$xHealth aspects 615 0$aRight to health 676 $a362.5/82 700 $aAngel$b Ronald$01045192 702 $aLein$b Laura 702 $aHenrici$b Jane 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457726403321 996 $aPoor families in America's health care crisis$92471266 997 $aUNINA
