Subcommittee on the Family Impacts of Lacking Health Insurance Print   Email


This subcommittee drafted the report, Health Insurance is a Family Matter, submitted to the Committee on the Consequences of Uninsurance for issuance. This report examines and documents the effects on the family, particularly on dependent children, when one or more members lack health insurance. The effects examined include measures of family members' health and of children's developmental status, access to and use of health services, financial burdens and family psycho-social stress. Taking the family as the primary unit of analysis, the report identifies patterns of health insurance coverage within families in order to discern interrelationships between parents' insurance and health status with their children's health insurance status, use of health services, and health. Health insurance status will also be examined in relation to the family's out-of-pocket costs for medical care and financial well being and stability.  More information on this subcommittee
