The effect of change on health insurance on access to health care
Article Abstract:
Changes in health insurance status of insurance policies were found to have a significant impact on health care access. Loss of health insurance coverage results in patients generally receiving poorer quality of health care. Patients who belong to this category delay seeking medical assistance, and post lower physician visits, and are less likely to purchase prescription drugs. Meanwhile, persons who change insurance plans tend to delay seeking medical help, even when they are ill.
