| Description |
Access to and utilization of health care services are important public policy issues. In the United States, expenditures for health care account for over 13% of gross domestic product. Despite that level of spending, access to the benefits of health care is very uneven. For example, the number of Americans without health insurance increased to 43 million (16%) in 1997. A recent UDOH report, Health Care Access and Utilization, used data from the 1996 Utah Health Status Survey to examine patterns of access and utilization in Utah. This Health Status Update reviews some of the highlights of that report. |
