Health Insurance In California: Inaccessible To Those Who Need It
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The primary objective of a health care delivery system is "to enable all citizens to access health care services that are cost-effective and that meet certain preestablished standards of quality" (Shi et al, 1998, p. 6); however, this is hardly the case in California where health insurance benefits the rich while leaving the poor to fend for themselves. Employee benefits play a significant role in the extent to which lower class individuals are able to obtain adequate medical care. The primary reason for employers to purchase insurance plans is to provide their workers with the opportunity to afford insurance that would otherwise be far too expensive if purchased as an individual policy.

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) & Regulation
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) seemed like a good idea in the 1980s as health costs were soaring out of range.

Consumer costs continued to soar and quality health care became an oxymoron. This paper discusses how HMOs control and derail the legislative process intended to protect consumers. The writer provides examples of laws and regulations a few states have adopted and the tactics used by the HMO industry to deter legislation intended to regulate it. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
