Reply to Comments on Health Care Access and Covid-19 Vaccination in the United States
Hospital Capital Assets, Community Health, and the Utilization and Cost of Inpatient Care
BACKGROUND: The provision of high-quality hospital care requires adequate space, buildings, and equipment, although redundant infrastructure could also drive service overprovision. OBJECTIVE: To explore the distribution of physical hospital resources-that is, capital assets-in the United States; its correlation with indicators of community health and nonhealth factors; and the association between hospital capital density and regional hospital uti…

Covid-19 Risk by Workers’ Occupation and Industry in the United States, 2020‒2021
Objectives. To assess the risk of COVID-19 by occupation and industry in the United States. Methods. Using the 2020–2021 National Health Interview Survey, we estimated the risk of having had a diagnosis of COVID-19 by workers’ industry and occupation, with and without adjustment for confounders.

Chronic Illness in Children and Foregone Care Among Household Adults in the United States
BACKGROUND: Childhood chronic illness imposes financial burdens that may affect the entire family. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to assess whether adults living with children with 2 childhood chronic illnesses-asthma and diabetes-are more likely to forego their own medical care, and experience financial strain, relative to those living with children without these illnesses. RESEARCH DESIGN: 2009-2018 National Health Interview Survey. SUBJECTS: Adult-chi…
Health Care Disparities Across the Urban‐Rural Divide
PURPOSE: The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is high in rural America. Few studies, however, have examined urban/rural differences in health care access, or racial/ethnic and income disparities stratified by urban/rural residence, among persons with COPD. METHODS: We studied individuals age ≥ 40 years with COPD from the 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The primary exposure was "urban" or "rural" county of re…
Coverage Expansions and Utilization of Physician Care
Objectives. To evaluate the effects of the 2 major coverage expansions in US history—Medicare/Medicaid in 1966 and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014—on the utilization of physician care. Methods. Using the National Health Interview Survey (1963–1969; 2011–2016), we analyzed trends in utilization of physician services society-wide and by targeted subgroups. Results. Following Medicare/Medicaid’s implementation, society-wide utilization remaine…
To Heal Humankind
The "human right to healthcare" has had a remarkable rise. It is found in numerous international treaties and national constitutions, it is litigated in courtrooms across the globe, it is increasingly the subject of study by scholars across a range of disciplines, and—perhaps most importantly—it serves as an inspiring rallying cry for health justice activists throughout the world. However, though increasingly accepted as a principle, the historic…
Universal Underinsurance Is Not the Same as Universal Health Care
Health Insurance Reform in the United States—what, How, and Why
Moving Forward From the Affordable Care Act to a Single-Payer System
The authors discuss developments in the effort to achieve universal health care in the U.S. in 2016, particularly the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Also cited are the ruling by the Supreme Court upholding the legality of the ACA subsidies, the claim by the Congressional Budget Office that will still be 27 million Americans who will be uninsured under the ACA, and some recommendations to resolve the shortcomings of the ACA in te…
Socioeconomic status is associated with reduced lung function in China
We found cross-sectional evidence of socioeconomic disparities in pulmonary function in Shanghai. These differences increased with age and were partially explained by potentially modifiable exposures
La Ley de Cuidado de la Salud Asequible y la transformación del sistema de cuidado de la salud estadounidense
El periodo neoliberal ha sido acompañado por una transformación transcendental en el seno del sistema de salud estadounidense. Como resultado de una serie de dinámicas políticas e históricas, la nueva ley de atención a la salud firmada por Barack Obama en el 2010 –La Ley de Cuidado de la Salud Asequible (ACA)‐ se basó menos en modelos universales de otros países que lo que se propuso en reformas conservadoras anteriores del sistema de salud. Esto…
