Data are presented from a recent survey of the United States population comparing the characteristics and levels of access to medical care of persons under 65 years who have group or individual private health insurance, public health insurance, or no third-party coverage. The uninsured group appeared to fall between the privately insured and publicly insured groups on measures of social and economic status. Persons with publicly subsidized forms of insurance coverage utilized services at the highest rates, and uninsured persons used them at the lowest rates. Neither of these groups was as satisfied with the convenience or the quality of the care it obtained as the privately insured group. Implications of these findings for national health insurance and other health policy initiatives are discussed.
数据来自最近一项针对美国人口的调查，该调查比较了65岁以下拥有团体或个人私人医疗保险、公共医疗保险或无第三方保险覆盖人群的医疗保健特征和可及水平。在社会和经济地位指标方面，未参保人群似乎介于私人参保人群和公共参保人群之间。拥有公共补贴形式保险覆盖的人群使用服务的比率最高，未参保人群使用服务的比率最低。这两组人群对所获得医疗服务的便利性或质量的满意度均不及私人参保人群。本文讨论了这些研究结果对国家医疗保险和其他卫生政策倡议的影响。
