Health Insurance Cover

Question

Discuss, Research suggests that those

with health insurance have better access to healthcare services and have better

healthcare outcomes than those who do not. However, research suggests that all

individuals with health insurance do not receive equal treatment. 

Medicaid recipients, those enrolled in managed care plans, or those with

lower-cost insurance plans continue to have limited choices to access needed

health care due to private providers refusing to accept them as patients or

high out-of-pocket copayments and deductibles.

 Does the type of health insurance an

individual has create a system of unequal healthcare?

 Discuss the inequalities and describe your

personal experiences or what you have seen as a nurse.
