Book Description
Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well-being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

Book Description
The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Book Description
Prenatal care programs have proven effective in improving birth outcomes and preventing low birthweight. Yet over one-fourth of all pregnant women in the United States do not begin prenatal care in the first 3 months of pregnancy, and for some groupsâ€"such as black teenagersâ€"participation in prenatal care is declining. To find out why, the authors studied 30 prenatal care programs and analyzed surveys of mothers who did not seek prenatal care. This new book reports their findings and offers specific recommendations for improving the nation's maternity system and increasing the use of prenatal care programs.

Book Description
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO investigated the extent to which Medicaid beneficiaries and uninsured women experience difficulties in obtaining access to prenatal care to determine the: (1) timing and number of their prenatal care visits; and (2) barriers they perceived as preventing them from obtaining care earlier or more often. GAO found that: (1) 63 percent obtained insufficient prenatal care; (2) those women most likely to obtain insufficient care were uninsured, poorly educated, black or Hispanic teenagers, or women from large urban areas; (3) those most likely to obtain adequate care were well-educated, white, residing in rural communities, in their early 30's, or Medicaid recipients; (4) lack of money to pay for care, lack of transportation, and unawareness of the pregnancy prevented women from obtaining earlier or more frequent prenatal care; (5) there was little information on the effectiveness of states' and communities' initiatives for improving access to prenatal care; (6) 19 states expanded Medicaid eligibility to pregnant women, although none implemented presumptive eligibility; (7) if states expanded Medicaid coverage of pregnant women, reduced intensive care and long-term institutional costs would offset initial costs; (8) increases in Medicaid reimbursement rates for maternity services would not improve access to care as much as expanding eligibility; and (9) states believed that Maternal and Child Health block grants were insufficient for needed prenatal services.

Book Description
Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.
