Synopsis

Insurance coverage--its availability, cost, and impact on the medical care that Americans receive--is at the center of the national debate on health care reform. In Falling through the Safety Net Joel Weissman and Arnold Epstein, the latter domestic policy advisor for health care to the Clinton administration, offer a timely look at how insurance status affects a person's health and use of health services--and explain why the current system is in desperate need of reform.

This book should provoke researchers and policy makers to think in a broad context about ways we can make health care more accessible and seek ways we can eliminate the problem of people being uninsured.Hillary Rodham Clinton, from the Foreword
