Health Insurance Is a Family Matter $3.95 Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

Cover Me: A Health Insurance Memoir $3.95 Growing up in middle-class middle America, Sonya Huber viewed health care as did most of her peers: as an inconvenience or not at all. There were braces and cavities, medications and stitches, the family doctor and the local dentist. Finding herself without health insurance after college graduation, she didn't worry. It was a temporary problem. Thirteen years and twenty-three jobs later, her view of the matter was quite different. Huber's irreverent and affecting memoir of navigating the nation's health-care system brings an awful and necessary dose of reality to the political debates and propaganda surrounding health-care reform. "I look like any other upwardly mobile hipster," Huber says. "I carry a messenger bag, a few master's degrees, and a toddler raised on organic milk." What's not evident, however, is that she is a veteran of Medicaid and WIC, the federal government's supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children. In "Cover Me," Huber tells a story that is at once all too familiar and rarely told: of being pushed to the edge by worry; of the adamant belief that better care was out there; of taking one mind-numbing job after another in pursuit of health insurance, only to find herself scrounging through the trash heap of our nation's health-care system for tips and tricks that might mean the difference between life and death.

The Theory of Demand for Health Insurance $4.49 Why do people buy health insurance? Conventional theory holds that people purchase insurance because they prefer the certainty of paying a small premium to the risk of getting sick and paying a large medical bill. Conventional theory also holds that any additional health care that consumers purchase because they have insurance is not worth the cost of producing it. Therefore, economists have promoted policies--copayments and managed care--to reduce consumption of this additional, seemingly low-value care. This book presents a new theory of consumer demand for health insurance. It holds that people purchase insurance to obtain additional income when they become ill. In effect, insurance companies act to transfer insurance premiums from those who remain healthy to those who become ill. This additional income generates purchases of additional high-value care, often allowing sick persons to obtain life-saving care that they could not otherwise afford. Regarding risk, the new theory relies on empirical studies showing that consumers actually prefer the risk of a large loss to incurring a smaller loss with certainty. Therefore, if consumers purchase insurance, it is not because they desire to avoid risk. Instead, the new theory suggests consumers simply pay a premium when healthy in exchange for a claim on additional income (effected when insurance pays for the medical care) if they become ill. Health insurance is substantially more valuable to the consumer under the new theory. The new theory moreover implies that copayments and managed care--central health policies of the last 30 years--were directed at solving problems that largely did not exist. Because these policies either reduced the amount of income transferred to ill persons or limited access to valuable health care, they may have done more harm than good. The new theory also provides a solid theoretical justification for insuring the uninsured and for implementing national health insurance.

The Theory of Social Health Insurance $83.99 The Theory of Social Health Insurance develops the theory of social health insurance also known as public health insurance. While a good deal is known about the demand and supply of private insurance, the theoretical basis of social health insurance is much more fragile.

What are the objectives and constraints of social health insurance managers? What is the likely outcome or "performance" of social health insurance?

War and Health Insurance Policy in Japan and the United States: World War II to Postwar Reconstruction $12.39 World War II forced extensive and comprehensive social and political changes on nations across the globe. This comparative examination of health insurance in the United States and Japan during and after the war explores how WWII shaped the health care systems of both countries. Takakazu Yamagishi discusses the effect of total war on the development of health insurance in both countries and compares the two using four measures: political structure, the power of interest groups, the existing political culture, and policy feedback. During the war, the U.S. and Japanese governments realized that healthy soldiers, workers, mothers, and children were vital to national survival. While both countries adopted new, expansive national insurance policies as part of their WWII mobilization efforts, they approached doing so in different manners and achieved near opposite results. In the U.S., private insurance became the predominant means of insuring people, save for a few government-run programs. Japan, meanwhile, created a near-universal public insurance system. After the war, the nations further consolidated their respective insurance policy. Yamagishi argues that these disparate outcomes were the result of each nation’s war experience. He looks closely at postwar Japan and investigates how struggles between the American occupation authority and U.S. domestic forces, such as the American Medical Association, actually helped solidify the country’s existing health insurance system. Original and tightly argued, this volume makes a strong case for treating total war as a central factor in understanding how the health insurance systems of the two nations grew while bearing in mind the dual nature of government intervention — however slight — in health care. Those interested in debates about health care in industrialized countries and scholars of comparative political development especially will appreciate and learn from Yamagishi’s study.

The Impact of Health Insurance in Low- And Middle-Income Countries $26.94 Over the past twenty years, many low- and middle- income countries have experimented with health insurance options. While their plans have varied widely in scale and ambition, their goals are the same: to make health services more affordable through the use of public subsidies while also moving care providers partially or fully into competitive markets. Until now, however, we have known little about the actual effects of these policy changes. Understanding the impact of health insurance-based care is key to the public policy debate of whether to extend insurance to low-income populations and if so, how to do it or to serve them through other means. Using recent household data, this new book assesses the impact of insurance programs in China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ghana, Indonesia, Namibia, and Peru. These nations are betting that insurance-based health care financing can increase the accessibility of services, improve providers’ productivity, and change the population’s health care use patterns, mirroring the development of health systems in most OECD countries. The contributors also discuss potential design improvements that could increase impact. They provide insights on how to evaluate health insurance reforms using existing data and contribute to a robust knowledge base to guide policy as other countries tackle the health insurance challenge.

Health Benefits at Work: An Economic and Political Analysis of Employment-Based Health Insurance $3.77 The majority of Americans receive their health insurance for themselves and their families through their job. The employee pays a portion of the premium but the employer chooses the type and amount of coverage offered as well as administers the plan. This book addresses the question: Who really pays for employer-arranged health insurance? Are premiums paid from company profits or do employees bear the cost through lower wages? Pauly suggests that this confusion has complicated the debate on public policy and needs to be alleviated. This work first shows how views taken by business and political leaders during the Clinton health reform proposal debate were affected by this confusion and did not follow the economic view. It then provides a novel, intuitive, but comprehensive outline of the economic theory that bears on this question. Empirical evidence consistent with the economic view is summarized, and the implications of the view for some important issues in health policy and in practical health benefits management are discussed in detail. "Health Benefits at Work" explores the political economy of health policy when the stakeholders have an uncertain and possibly incorrect understanding of their actual interests. For the benefits specialist, it provides an accessible treatment of the complex and often counterintuitive economics of health benefits. This will appeal to the health policy community as well as economists and anyone concerned with issues surrounding health insurance in employment settings. "This book is refreshing . . . clean and intuitive; the logic devastating." –Michael A. Morrissey Mark V. Pauly is Professor of Health Care Systems and Insurance and RiskManagement, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

The Insurance Decoder: How to Maximize Your Health Insurance Benefits, Minimize Out-Of-Pocket Expenses and Stay One Step Ahead of $22.94 While health care reform rages in the halls of Congress, no one is addressing the situation that millions of insured Americans face each day – the problem of getting their health claims paid. Unfortunately many insured individuals simply lack a good understanding of their plan and may not be aware that some services are either not covered or are covered at a lower amount than expected. Let’s face it-lack of knowledge and experience is one of the biggest challenges that consumers confront when they attempt to deal with their health insurance issues. Lynne Lucio has made a complex topic simple. Her book gives readers the tools and guidance they need to navigate the insurance maze to help them solve the claims puzzle. The Insurance Decoder is a must read for everyone who has health insurance coverage because no one is exempt from having a claim denied, delayed, or lost in the mail. Quite simply, Lynne has created a reference guide to help walk an individual through the confusion that often accompanies health insurance.

World Health Report 2005 (The) $3.47 "The World Health Report 2005 – Make Every Mother and Child Count" examines the reasons why so many children under five years of age and women in pregnancy during childbirth or soon after continue to die from causes that are largely preventable – and how the annual toll can be reduced. This year, almost 11 million children under five years of age will die. Among them are 4 million babies who will not survive the first month of life. On top of that, 3.3 million babies will be stillborn. At the same time, about half a million women will die in pregnancy, childbirth, or soon after. The report contains an expert analysis of the obstacles to progress in maternal, newborn, and child health, and a comprehensive series of recommendations aimed at overcoming them. It says that the interventions exist today to transform the lives of millions of mothers and children and to prevent millions of tragically premature deaths. To put an end to widespread exclusion, countries must guarantee access to care for each and every mother and child – through a continuum that extends from pregnancy through childbirth, the neonatal period and childhood. The report says that universal access for mothers and children requires health systems to be able to respond to the needs and demands of the population, and to offer them protection against the financial hardship that results from ill-health. The report argues that maternal, newborn, and child health should constitute the core of health entitlements protected and funded through public funds and social health insurance systems. Children are the future of society and their mothers are guardians of that future.

Falling Through the Safety Net: Americans Without Health Insurance $3.95 In this stunning mixture of real life stories and cold-eyed analysis, Geyman brings you close up to the perils faced by every American. With nearly all Americans facing a lack of health insurance at some point, this is a book for you. "Dr. John Geyman’s "Falling Through the Safety Net "provides a brilliant road map to this nation’s patchwork of medical coverage for the uninsured. As a practitioner, teacher, and medical leader, Geyman has learned his way around the safety net first hand. Powerful reading for all."-Fitzhugh Mullan, MD, author, "Big Doctoring in America: Profiles in Primary Care." "Once again, the legendary master of family medicine -addresses with clinical compassion the widespread concerns about "unsurance" and uncovered medical costs."-Donald Light, Professor of comparative health care -systems, Princeton University To those who would take the Alfred E. Newman stance toward health insurance (What me worry, I’m healthy ), Geyman delivers some sobering statistics: Eighty percent of the uninsured live in working families; Sixty-seven million Americans are uninsured for at least one month in a twenty-eight month period; One in five workers cannot afford insurance when offered by employers; Even in families with two full-time wage earners, ten percent are uninsured. Those who lack insurance face poor health care and increased risk of bad outcomes. The answer, argues Dr. Geyman, is one the majority of Americans already want: single payer health insurance. This is the book for those who no longer want this problem to be as American as apple pie. John Geyman, M.D., is professor emeritus of Family -Medicine at the University of Washington, and editor of the "Journal of the American Board of Family Practice."

The Affordability of Private Health Insurance: Econometric Evidence from Household and Firm Surveys. $80.72 The notion that healthcare costs in the United States are increasingly burdensome for many families is not news. Empirical research, however, has lagged behind the public need for analyses showing how household finances constrain health insurance purchase, and what particular groups may be most affected by the rising costs of care. This dissertation outlines three econometric approaches to understanding whether health insurance is affordable, and if so, for whom. Chapters 1 and 3 use a choice framework to understand the relationship between employer health plan offerings and employee purchase. Chapter 2 constructs new panel data from the Kaiser Family Foundation/Health Research and Educational Trust’s Annual Survey of Employer Health Benefits to better estimate the influence of insurance premiums on employee take-up (coverage) rates. In Chapter 1, a previous definition of whether insurance is affordable for the uninsured is reevaluated to incorporate the heterogeneous choice sets available to families from their employment status. Using supply-side notions including offers of employer plans and self-employment status, a revised estimate of the percentage of the uninsured who can afford insurance is developed and shown to be substantially lower than previously thought. Chapter 2 constructs a firm-level panel and applies a fixed-effects approach to a core question in health economics: how sensitive are employees to their contribution to health care premiums? Other researchers have addressed this question, but this paper finds a lower estimate of the elasticity of demand for health insurance. Another new finding of this paper is the link it establishes between the quality of and demand for insurance coverage. In Chapter 3, a multinomial choice model is used to understand the sorting of lower socio-economic status groups into managed care plans. For those of lower socio-economic status, demand for lower cost and more restrictive care is relatively large. Unlike many household surveys, these conclusions are drawn from an analysis which controls for plan premiums, cost-sharing, and the range of plan types made available by employers. The results of modeling this sorting into HMO plans have implications for public policies which encourage the adoption of particular plan types.

One Nation, Uninsured: Why the U.S. Has No National Health Insurance $35.08 Every industrial nation in the world guarantees its citizens access to essential health care services–every country, that is, except the United States. In fact, one in eight Americans–a shocking 43 million people–do not have any health care insurance at all. One Nation, Uninsured offers a vividly written history of America’s failed efforts to address the health care needs of its citizens. Covering the entire twentieth century, Jill Quadagno shows how each attempt to enact national health insurance was met with fierce attacks by powerful stakeholders, who mobilized their considerable resources to keep the financing of health care out of the government’s hands. Quadagno describes how at first physicians led the anti-reform coalition, fearful that government entry would mean government control of the lucrative private health care market. Doctors lobbied legislators, influenced elections by giving large campaign contributions to sympathetic candidates, and organized "grassroots" protests, conspiring with other like-minded groups to defeat reform efforts. As the success of Medicare and Medicaid in the mid-century led physicians and the AMA to start scaling back their attacks, the insurance industry began assuming a leading role against reform that continues to this day. One Nation, Uninsured offers a sweeping history of the battles over health care. It is an invaluable read for anyone who has a stake in the future of America’s health care system.

Disability: Challenges for Social Insurance, Health Care Financing, and Labor Market Policy $6.4 This book presents a cross-cutting assessment of disability income policy in public and private programs in the United States and in European countries. It evaluates whether there is a crisis in disability benefit policy, drawing on an in-depth review of Social Security disability programs by a panel of national experts. In addition to highlighting the panel’s findings and recommendations for reform, the authors debate issues in financing and delivering quality health care through Medicare and Medicaid for working-age persons with disabilities, and they examine new developments in how Workers’ Compensation organizes and finances cash benefits and health care for workers injured on the job. These developments in benefits and health policy for disabled workers are examined in light of budget constraints and challenges posed by today’s rapidly changing labor market. The book concludes with a provocative discussion of " where are the jobs?" –an assessment of growing wage inequality between less skilled and highly skilled workers and the implication of labor market trends for goals of promoting employment among persons with chronic health conditions or disabilities. The contributors include Monroe Berkowitz, Rutgers University; Richard V. Burkhauser, Syracuse University; John Burton, Rutgers University; Philip de Jong, Institute for Law and Public Policy, Leiden University, the Netherlands; Alan Krueger, Princeton University; Katherine Newman, Harvard University; Van Ooms, Committee on Economic Development; Dallas Salisbury, Employee Benefit Research Institute; Leslie Scallet, Mental Health Policy Resource Center; and the Honorable Bruce C.

Reynolds offer a bold new plan to revitalize American labor activism and build a sense of common purpose between labor and community organizations. Dean and Reynolds demonstrate how alliances organized at the regional level are the most effective tool to build a voice for working people in the workplace, community, and halls of government.The authors draw on their own successes to offer in-depth, contemporary case studies of effective labor-community coalitions.
