15 Executive Summary Racial and ethnic groups in the United States continue to experience major disparities in health status. Compared to the majority non-latino white population, racial and ethnic minorities bear a disproportionate burden of mortality and morbidity across a wide range of health conditions. These disparities in health status are compounded by reduced access to health care services. Although many factors affect health status, the lack of health insurance and other barriers to obtaining health services diminish racial and ethnic minorities utilization of preventive services and medical treatments that could reduce disease and contribute to improved health status. This report examines disparities in health insurance coverage and access to physician services across major racial and ethnic groups and subgroups in the United States. To examine the relationship of ethnicity and other factors on health insurance coverage and on access to health services, we analyzed two population-based surveys, the Current Population Survey and the National Health Interview Survey. Insurance Coverage Differences Across Racial and Ethnic Groups Ethnic minorities are much more likely than non-latino whites to be uninsured. Over one-third of Latinos (37%) are uninsured, the highest rate among all ethnic groups and two and a half times the rate of 14% for non-latino whites (whites). Nearly one-fourth of African Americans, and about one-fifth of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) and American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are uninsured. The higher uninsured rates of ethnic minorities are attributable in large part to their lower rates of job-based insurance, which covers 73% of whites, but only 43% of Latinos, 51% of AI/ANs, 53% of African Americans, and 64% of AAPIs. Most ethnic minorities employment-based coverage rose three to four percentage points between 1994 and However, these gains did not narrow the 9- to 30-point gap in job-based coverage between these groups and whites because they were offset by declines of up to five percentage points in Medicaid coverage for all minority groups. Access to Care Differences Across Racial and Ethnic Groups Racial and ethnic groups, including both children and adults, differ in their access to health services. Among preschool children (ages 0-5), who need at least annual physician visits just for preventive care, 8% of AAPI and Latino children did not see a doctor visit in the past year, compared to 5% of white and African- American children. For school-age children (6-17 years), Latinos, AI/ANs, and AAPIs one and a half to two times the rate for African-American or white children not to have visited a doctor during the previous two years. xi
16 One-third of Latino and AAPI men in fair or poor health have not visited a physician in the past year, a considerably higher rate than for whites and African Americans. Latino, African-American, and AAPI women in fair or poor health are similarly less likely than white women not to have visited a physician. Among adults in good to excellent health, Latino and AAPI men and women experience disparities compared to whites and African Americans. Racial/ethnic groups also differ in the proportion who have a connection to the health care system, measured by whether the person has a place where they regularly go for care. Latino, AI/AN and AAPI children are two to three times as likely as whites and African Americans to lack a usual place for care. Similar disparities by ethnicity are found among adults, with Latinos and AAPIs more likely not to have a usual source of care. Having health insurance coverage increases the likelihood that an individual will have a usual source of care and receive physician services. Latinos Health Insurance Coverage and Access to Health Care Latinos experience the highest uninsured rates of all ethnic groups. Nearly four out of ten (37%) nonelderly Latinos are uninsured. Among Latinos, Mexican-Americans and Central and South Americans have the highest rates of uninsurance (38% and 42%, respectively), but Latinos of every national origin, including Cubans and Puerto Ricans, have significantly higher uninsured rates than whites. Latinos are uninsured at extraordinarily high rates because only 43% have employment-based health insurance, compared to 73% of whites. Latinos jobbased coverage increased between 1994 and 1997 (from 40% to 43%), but this increase was offset by a drop in Medicaid coverage (from 20% in 1994 to 16% in 1997), in part due to the effects of welfare reform. While almost nine out of 10 (87%) uninsured Latinos are workers or their dependents, Latinos are far less likely than whites to have job-based coverage regardless of how much they work or the size of the firm or the industry in which they work. Latino workers are about twice as likely as whites to report that they work for an employer that does not offer health insurance to any workers. Latino noncitizens have very high uninsured rates (58%). Even among Latino U.S. citizens, however, a still-high 27% are uninsured. This high uninsured rate among Latino citizens suggests that other factors in addition to citizenship such as educational attainment, employment characteristics, and income level play an important role in providing access to job-based coverage. Latinos are the most likely among all ethnic groups to have no usual source of care: 12% of Latino children (vs. 4% of white children) and 26% of Latino adults (vs. 15% of white adults). Having health insurance coverage increases the likelihood of Latinos, as well as other groups, having a regular connection to health care services. xii
17 Latino children are less likely than white children to make timely visits to the physician, a disparity that is exacerbated for uninsured Latinos. Latino adults, regardless of their health status, are less likely than whites to have had timely physician visits, a problem that is exacerbated by lack of insurance. African Americans Health Insurance Coverage and Access to Health Care African Americans job-based insurance remains lower than that of whites (53% and 73%, respectively), despite recent improvements in the economy. Nearly one-quarter (23%) of African Americans remain uninsured, an increase from 21% in 1994 and a rate that is one and a half times the uninsured rate for whites. Medicaid provides an important safety net for African Americans, but Medicaid coverage dropped from 24% in 1994 to 19% in This change was driven both by gains in job-based coverage and by the implementation of welfare reform, which discouraged or excluded many low-income working families from enrolling. African Americans and whites are about equally likely to have a usual source of care, but large proportions of uninsured African American children and adults remain without any ongoing connection to the health care system. Among uninsured African-American children through age 5, one in ten has not visited a physician in a 12-month period, twice the rate for those who are insured. And among school-age African-American children (ages 6-17), one in five uninsured children has not had a physician visit in a two-year period, a rate two to three times as high as their counterparts with coverage. African-American women in fair to poor health, particularly the uninsured, are less likely than their white counterparts to have had a recent physician visit, with one in five not seeing a physician for more than one year. African-American men in fair or poor health are more likely than their female counterparts not to have visited a physician in the past year. Among African-American men who are in fair or poor health and uninsured, one in four has not visited a physician in the past year despite their compromised health status. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders Health Insurance Coverage and Access to Health Care Overall, 21% of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are uninsured, compared to 14% of whites. AAPIs are a highly diverse population, however, whose health insurance coverage and access to health services differ widely across ethnic subgroups. Uninsured rates vary widely among AAPI subgroups, from one in three Koreans; to one in four Southeast Asians; one in five South Asians, Chinese, and Filipinos; and one in 12 third-plus-generation AAPIs. Disparities in uninsurance result from wide differences in job-based coverage, ranging from just under onehalf of Koreans and Southeast Asians to a high of more than three-fourths of Japanese and third-plus-generation AAPIs. xiii
18 Medicaid coverage is generally low among the AAPI population, ranging from just 1% to 2% for Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and Koreans to nearly one in five for Southeast Asians. The higher Medicaid coverage of Southeast Asians reflects both their high poverty rates and the high proportion of refugees among this group. Both connection to the health care system and health care use are better for AAPI children and adults with health insurance, compared with those who are uninsured. AAPI children and adults without insurance are much less likely to have a usual source of care. This effect of coverage is also seen for each of the AAPI subgroups examined. Eight percent of AAPI children ages 0-5 have not had a doctor visit in the past year and 12% of those ages 6-17 have not had a physician visit within two years. For uninsured children ages 6-17, the proportion without a physician visit rises to 19%. AAPI men and women in excellent to good health are less likely to have been to a physician in a two-year period than their white counterparts. Those without coverage, especially men, have even less contact with the health care system: one-half (52%) of uninsured men and 27% of uninsured women have not had a visit in the past two years. American Indians and Alaska Natives Health Insurance Coverage and Access to Health Care The United States government has a trust responsibility to provide health care to federally recognized American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). Since 1955, the Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has provided and administered health services for much of the AI/AN population. However, contrary to widespread assumptions that most AI/ANs have access to IHS services, only one in five persons who identify themselves as American Indian or Alaska Native report having IHS coverage. Among those who report having IHS coverage, one in three also receives job-based or other private health insurance, and one in five also has Medicaid coverage. AI/ANs, like many other ethnic minorities, are seriously disadvantaged by low family incomes. Half (50%) of all nonelderly AI/ANs are poor or near poor, with family incomes below 200% of the federal poverty level, twice the rate for whites (23%). Insurance coverage improves access to care for AI/ANs. About a third of uninsured AI/ANs (35%) report that they do not have a usual source of care, more than three times the proportion of those who have some form of health insurance coverage. Uninsured AI/AN children and adults are less likely to meet the standards for regular care we applied for this analysis, but even those with IHS coverage do not fare as well as those with other types of coverage. xiv
19 Introduction Racial and ethnic groups in the United States continue to experience major disparities in health status. Compared to the majority non-latino white (or white, for brevity) population, racial and ethnic minorities bear a disproportionate burden of mortality and morbidity across a wide range of health conditions. 1 These disparities in health status are compounded by disproportionately reduced access to health care services. Health care is only one of many factors that affect health status, but the lack of health insurance and other barriers to obtaining health services effectively diminish racial and ethnic minorities utilization of preventive services and medical treatments that could reduce their burdens of disease and contribute to improved health. This report examines disparities in health insurance coverage and access to physician services across major racial and ethnic groups and subgroups in the United States. Disparities in Health Mortality is a crude indicator of health status, but it demonstrates how critical the disparities are for racial and ethnic minorities. For some groups, these disparities begin early in life and are sustained throughout the lifecourse. African-American infant mortality rates are more than double those of whites (14% vs. 6%), while Native American infant mortality rates (10%) are more than one and a half times those of whites. Among adults, death rates for African Americans are approximately 55% higher than for whites. 2 Diabetes kills African- Americans at more than three times the rate for whites, and it kills American Indian/Alaska Natives at more than twice the rate, and Hispanics at more than one and a half times the rate for whites. 3 Although many factors account for differences in health status, good access to appropriate health services could reduce many of these disparities. In spite of their higher mortality and morbidity for cardiovascular disease, African Americans and Latinos are less likely to undergo treatment for their conditions, and are especially less likely to receive high-technology cardiac procedures, such as cardiac catheterization and coronary revascularization. 4 African-American 1 Collins KS, Hall A, Neuhaus C, U.S. Minority Health: A Chartbook, New York: The Commonwealth Fund, May Nickens HW, The Role of Race/Ethnicity and Social Class in Minority Health Status, Health Services Research, 1995; 30: Health, United States, 1998, Hyattsville, MD: National Center for Health Statistics, 1998, pp , provides age-adjusted death rates for diabetes mellitus. 4 Hall WD, Ferrario CM, Moore MA, et al., Hypertension-Related Morbidity and Mortality in the Southeastern United States, American Journal of the Medical Science, 1997;313: ; Mitchell JB, McCormack LA, Time Trends in Late-Stage Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer.

20 women present more frequently than white women with late-stage breast cancer, probably related to barriers to life-saving diagnostic services and treatment. 5 Higher rates of late-stage diagnosis may account for the 14% difference in breast cancer survival rates between white and black women. 6 Asian-American and Pacific Islander women have the lowest screening rates for cervical cancer, despite having a high incidence of cervical cancer. Vietnamese women s cervical cancer rate, the highest among all groups, is nearly five times the rate for white women. 7 African-American men have the highest prostate cancer incidence and mortality, suggesting a greater need than other groups for screening and diagnosis. 8 Thus, for ethnic minorities, any disparities in access to health services will only exacerbate chronic conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, by delaying diagnosis and reducing effective management and treatment. Access barriers typically reduce use of preventive services, such as screenings and health education and counseling, diminishing efforts to prevent disease and death. Data Sources To examine the relationship of ethnicity and other factors on health insurance coverage and on access to health services, we analyzed two population-based surveys, the Current Population Survey and the National Health Interview Survey. Current Population Survey The Current Population Survey (CPS) is a national cross-sectional survey, administered in person and by telephone, with a sample of approximately 50,000 households, including 136,000 persons. The CPS is conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census to obtain information on employment, unemployment and demographic status of the non-institutionalized, U.S. civilian population. The March CPS contains extensive information on health insurance coverage, employment, and sources of income during the previous calendar year, as well as ethnicity, immigrant and citizenship status, and nativity of each household member. For these analyses, we used the CPS for March 1998 (reflecting health 5 Breen N, Wesley MN, Ray MM, Johnson K, The Relationship of Socio-Economic Status and Access to Minimum Expected Therapy Among Female Breast Cancer Patients in the National Cancer Institute Black-White Cancer Survival Study, Ethnicity & Disease 1999;9: Green MacDonald PA, Thorne DD, Pearson JC, Adams-Campbell LL, Perceptions and Knowledge of Breast Cancer Among African-American Women Residing in Public Housing, Ethnicity & Disease. 1999;9: Collins, Hall, and Neuhaus, U.S. Minority Health: A Chartbook, Collins, Hall, and Neuhaus, U.S. Minority Health: A Chartbook,
