  • Health Insurance Coverage of the Unemployed

    S E Berki, Leon Wyszewianski et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1985

    Of 1,332 unemployed individuals in the Detroit area interviewed in late 1983, 51% did not have health insurance. Lack of insurance was directly related to length of unemployment. Of those unemployed 3 months or less, 31% had no insurance, as compared with 56% of those unemployed more than 3 years. For the most part, these were not the chronically uninsured: 78% of them were insured when they were employed. Three fourths of those without insurance…

  • Classification of Hospitals Based on Measured Output

    J W Thomas, S E Berki et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1983

    This article examines whether the quality of health care services in the United States is equitably distributed across all groups in the population, especially groups defined by age, race, sex, and income characteristics. The framework within which the question is answered draws distinctions among structural, process, and outcome inequities. The available evidence suggests that all three types of inequity are present, at least to some extent. How…
