Knowledge of Health Insurance Terminology and Details Among the Uninsured
We examined 51 uninsured adults’ health insurance knowledge and preferences through semistructured qualitative interviews. Our sample was predominantly low-income and African American.

Many confused related insurance concepts. Non-health contexts (e.g., car insurance) aided understanding. Premiums, fixed costs, and specific coverage were rated very important to insurance decisions. Our study was one of the first to examine uninsured individuals’ he...

Behavioral Health Parity and the Affordable Care Act.
Abstract

Implementing the Affordable Care Act: The Promise and Limits of Health Care Reform
The Obama administration has confronted a formidable array of obstacles in implementing the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA has overcome those obstacles to substantially expand access to health insurance, though significant problems with its approach have emerged. What does the ACA's performance to date tell us about the possibilities and limits of health care reform in the United States? I identify key challenges in ACA implementation—the inherently disruptive nature of reform, partisan polarization, the limits of "near universal" coverage, complexity, and divided public opinion—and analyze how these issues...

South Africa: Origins of Opposition to NHI Are Rooted in Bigger Problems of Trust and Competence

Abstract B77: Shared decision-making and mammography screening: A national sample
Current breast cancer screening guidelines promote the use of shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and providers. Given the mandate of the Affordable Care Act to use SDM in clinical practice, it is imperative to develop an understanding of its impact on quality of care in the United States (US), especially for minority populations with poor cancer outcomes.
