The American health care system is a unique mix of public and
private programs that critics argue has produced a two-tier system
- one for the rich and the other for the poor - that delivers
dramatically unequal care and leaves millions of Americans
seriously underinsured or with no coverage at all. This book
examines the root causes of the inequalities of the American health
care system and discusses various policy alternatives. It
systematically documents the demands on and the performance of our
health care system for different population groups as defined on
the basis of gender (women), age (children), race and ethnicity
(African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans), and residence in
high poverty areas (rural and inner city locales).For each
population, the book documents: historical and demographic profile,
data on health status, aspects of inequality including access;
quality of care; and endemic, cultural, and lifestyle issues
affecting health; policies, laws, and programs relevant to health
care; and, indicators of improvement or negative trends.
