Awareness and Experience with Affordable Care Act Insurance Exchanges
The success of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its policy goal of increasing health insurance coverage across the United States, particularly for low income populations, rests in part on community-based outreach activities focused on consumer education and strategies to encourage sign–up. This paper draws on focus group data collected to evaluate and learn from one such community effort, located in a two-state region with significant political …
Theorizing Inequality
Sociological explanations of inequality are incomplete unless they fully recognize the importance of social policy regimes, the policy logics embedded within them, and how policy arrangements work to stratify and shape daily lives. In this address, I develop my arguments by examining two overlapping struggles of everyday life in the contemporary United States: balancing work and family on the one hand, and securing health-care services, both form…

Responding to Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
In this article, we analyze the process of redefining marital relations within the context of couples dealing with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRDs), drawing on intensive interviews with 13 caregiver husbands and 15 caregiver wives. Men were slower to recognize the symptoms of ADRDs, with social others usually bringing the problems to their attention. They often attributed symptoms to a less-problematic cause and engaged in extend…

Feminism and Profit in American Hospitals
This article provides a critical analysis of the evolution and impact of hospital-sponsored women's health centers. Using original data gathered from interviews, participant observation, and content analysis of documents and brochures, the authors describe the development of four models of hospital-sponsored women's health centers and illustrate three specific mechanisms of the co-optation process. They show how many elements of feminist health c…
Global Dimensions of Gender and Carework
Why are women such prominent workers in the global marketplace? Why do so many perform jobs that involve carework? What political forces have made these women key participants in globalization? What are the consequences for the women themselves, for their families, and for societies and international relations in general? This book offers a provocative examination of globalization, examining the lives of the women at the center of these new globa…
Guest Editors' Introduction
Rational Choice in Medicaid Managed Care
Market-based health care policies cast patients as active decision-making consumers who are able to choose among health plans and select the highest quality and lowest priced providers. Embodied in the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans Study (CAHPS), a national policy initiative based on assumptions of rational choice, such a model has recently been extended to low income populations enrolled in the U.S. Medicaid program. This paper describes a…

Valiant Girls and Vulnerable Boys
Notions of gender are embedded in the social structure and often subtly affect our views and expectations in virtually every area of life. It is only gradually, as a consequence of an emerging scholarship primarily focused on women, that social scientists are coming to appreciate the full significance of gender in the organization of social life. As part of this work, the role of gender is in the provision of home care for chronically ill childre…
Rural Hospitals under PPS
This research examines the impact of prospective payment (PPS) on the financial performance of Kansas hospitals, which are predominantly rural. Financial ratios are presented and regressed on bed size and year. The data suggest that bed size has the strongest effect on financial viability. There are indications of a delayed effect of PPS on the rural, smallest hospitals (fewer than 25 beds), suggesting that non‐operating sources of revenue (local…

Men and Abortion
Field research involving 30 abortion clinics from New England to California was conducted over a 2-year period to learn how the who wait respond to the entire situation relating to abortion -- from the news of the conception through the months that follow the abortion; what the range of their feelings was during the ordeal especially through the obvious fact of relationships strengthened weakened or broken by this trail. Of the 1000 male responde…

High Blood Pressure Among Employed Women
A wide range of possible contributory factors-biological, psychological and social-were examined in relation to high blood pressure within a stratified probability sample of 1,169 women from four large Midwestern corporations. Based on a systematic set of measurements, employees were divided into hypertensive and normotensive groups. Forty variables were selected from a comprehensive set of psychosocial and biological information and, after preli…
