NCSL Legisbrief. 2014 Apr;22(15):1-2.
(1) Prisoners have a higher prevalence of behavioral health disorders and chronic and infectious disease than the general population. (2) Suspending, rather than terminating, an inmate's Medicaid eligibility during incarceration helps facilitate coverage upon parole. (3) Policymakers are working to connect former inmates to coverage as a way to increase access to needed health services, decrease admissions to hospitals and emergency rooms, and reduce recidivism.
（1）囚犯中行为健康障碍、慢性病和传染病的患病率高于普通人群。（2）在监禁期间暂停而非终止囚犯的医疗补助资格有助于在假释后获得保险。（3）政策制定者正在努力让曾经入狱的人获得保险，以此增加获得所需医疗服务的机会，减少住院和急诊次数，并降低累犯率。
