A rural-urban comparison of a building blocks approach to covering the uninsured.
نویسنده
چکیده
A range of proposals are now being considered to reform the health care system, specifically to provide access to health insurance coverage for the uninsured. Proposals from President Obama and members of Congress include a range of public-private approaches, typically called “building blocks” approaches, which build upon our current system of health insurance to provide access to health insurance for all Americans. This report uses a RUPRI health insurance model to compare the effects of a building blocks approach on health insurance coverage and health spending, focusing on the geographic differences (by metro and non-metro) of this approach.
