View Full Paper
NANancy E. Adler

Key Points

  • To assess whether expanding health insurance coverage is sufficient to eliminate socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes.
  • Evaluated the impact of health insurance access on socioeconomic disparities in health.
  • Examined clinical and policy-level factors that influence socioeconomic patterns of disease.
  • Health insurance coverage alone is unlikely to significantly reduce socioeconomic differences in health outcomes.
  • Broader socioeconomic factors strongly dictate disease patterns and require direct intervention in policy and clinical practice.

Abstract

Health insurance coverage alone is not likely to reduce significantly SES differences in health. Attention should be paid both in policy decisions and in clinical practice to other SES-related factors that may influence patterns of health and disease.
