{"product_id":"9781489983503","title":"The Care of the Uninsured in America","description":"\u003cp\u003eThey earn too much for Medicaid but not enough to afford a health plan. Or their employer rescinded their benefits. Or they're \"not disabled enough\" for disability. Some 45 million people have fallen through the cracks of America's health care system, and this lack of coverage affects access to coverage, timeliness of care -even life expectancy. The Care of the Uninsured in America presents a nuanced portrait of this broad population-urban and rural, from generational poverty and the working poor-while illuminating the current state of medical\/dental insurance and the circumstances that cause so many to do without. Its authors conceptualize lack of insurance as a health disparity (as are ethnicity, gender, age, etc.), and explain its collective health impact and major issues in providing care.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn clear, useful prose, the book:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentifies subpopulations among the uninsured (e.g., the mentally ill, the homeless, people with HIV) and their specific care needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutlines necessary skills and strategies for working with uninsured patients, from health promotion to cultural competency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffers models and case examples of innovative care programs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReports on methods for improving access and support, including coalition building and health information management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescribes medication assistance programs: how they work and what they cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscusses chronic care and disease management among the uninsured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalyzes the universal health care debate and makes recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Care of the Uninsured in America will attract a wide audience among professionals and graduate students in public and community health and health policy; clinicians and nurses who treat theuninsured; administrators and managers seeking a deeper understanding of the system; and policymakers and analysts seeking avenues for change.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47046786154736,"sku":"9781489983503","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781489983503_p0.jpg?v=1763655164","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781489983503","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
