Policy Brief UCLA Cent Health Policy Res. 2007 Aug(PB2007-10):1-6.
Proposals to address the needs of uninsured Californians take one of two broadly different emphases: assuring that the uninsured have access to health services by expanding community health centers and clinics; or by extending health insurance coverage to those without it. This policy brief examines literature on the effect of expanding access to safety net health services versus extending health insurance coverage to those who are currently uninsured. Based on this examination of the literature and analysis of the 2005 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS 2005), we conclude that both approaches are necessary to address access problems faced by the uninsured and underserved.
一是通过扩大社区健康中心和诊所来确保未参保者能够获得医疗服务;二是为未参保者提供医疗保险。本政策简报审视了有关扩大安全网医疗服务可及性与为当前未参保者提供医疗保险覆盖范围的效果的文献。基于对这些文献的审视以及对2005年加州健康访谈调查(CHIS 2005)的分析,我们得出结论,这两种方法对于解决未参保者和医疗服务不足者所面临的可及性问题都是必要的。
