This study investigated how many citizens of Tarrant County do not have health insurance, what sources fund their health care, and how this level of funding compares with the privately insured population. Data for 1995 were obtained from various government agencies, local hospitals, local charitable organizations, and a survey of local private physicians. Medicare and Medicaid were considered to be forms of health insurance. Approximately 20% of the citizens of Tarrant County did not have health insurance. Third-party funding for health care for this population was approximately 56% of the funding for the privately insured population ($967 vs $1726 per person per year). The Tarrant County Hospital District contributed 52% of the uninsured funding; private hospitals and physicians, 26%; other state and local agencies, 21%; and charitable donations, 1%. I conclude that health care for the uninsured of Tarrant County is rationed compared with that of the privately insured population.
本研究调查了塔兰特县有多少居民没有医疗保险，他们的医疗保健资金来源是什么，以及这一资金水平与参加私人保险的人群相比情况如何。1995年的数据来自多个政府机构、当地医院、当地慈善组织以及对当地私人医生的一项调查。医疗保险和医疗补助被视为医疗保险的形式。塔兰特县约20%的居民没有医疗保险。该人群医疗保健的第三方资金约为参加私人保险人群资金的56%（每人每年967美元对比1726美元）。塔兰特县医院区提供了52%的未参保者资金；私立医院和医生提供了26%；其他州和地方机构提供了21%；慈善捐赠提供了1%。我得出结论，与参加私人保险的人群相比，塔兰特县未参保者的医疗保健是受限的。
