This publication offers united and synthesized information currently available only in scattered locations — if at all — to students, researchers, and policymakers. The book provides helpful contexts, so people worldwide can understand various health care systems. By using it as a guide to the mechanics of different health care systems, readers can examine existing systems as frameworks for developing their own.

The individual health insurance market has grown significantly since the 2014 implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s state-based and federally facilitated Marketplaces. During annual open enrollment periods, Marketplace enrollees can switch plans for the upcoming year. The percentage of re-enrollees in California’s state-based Marketplace, Covered California, who made changes to their coverage steadily increased between the 2014–15 and 2017–18 open enrollment periods.

Many studies have documented the adverse consequences of uninsurance for children, but less is known about the differential effects of varying periods of uninsurance. This study examines the relative effects of varying periods of uninsurance (uninsured for 1–4 months, 5–11 months, or all year) on children's access to care.

This report from the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research shows that job-based health insurance coverage -- the backbone of the state's system of health insurance -- is declining.

The Impact of Private and Public Health Insurance on Medication Use for Adults with Chronic Diseases
This article examines the impact of public and private health insurance on the use of medications for California adults with any of four chronic diseases: heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma. The data set used is the 2001 California Health Interview Survey. Multivariate analyses were conducted on individuals who had been diagnosed with each of these diseases.
