The objective of our study was to examine the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of patients accessing infertility services in a state (Massachusetts) with mandated and comprehensive insurance coverage for such services. Even in a state with such insurance coverage, disparities in access to infertility services exist, with the majority of individuals accessing those services being Caucasian, highly educated, and wealthy.
我们研究的目的是调查在一个对此类服务有强制和全面保险覆盖的州(马萨诸塞州)接受不孕不育服务的患者的人口统计学和社会经济特征。即使在有这种保险覆盖的州,获得不孕不育服务方面仍存在差异,接受这些服务的大多数人是白人、受过高等教育且富裕。
