Health Care Policy for Low-Income People in California - Len M. Nichols with Stephen Zuckerman

Executive Summary:

This is a study of why health insurance coverage varies across the country and within a state. While individual characteristics of the uninsured are well known, relatively little research has been devoted to explaining the systematic variation in state and county-level rates of uninsurance. Since these aggregate rates are the targets of many recent policies — health insurance market reforms, Medicaid expansions, high risk pools — the policy development process can only be helped by a better understanding of the covariates of rates of determinants coverage and uninsurance.
