Notes de l'éditeur
- General Themes: Strong support and push for a National Health Insurance plan (NHI) in the 60’s, but dwindled in the mid-70’s; NHI was no longer a priority at the end of the decade Introduction of health care regulations in the 70’s Shift toward “cost containment” health care Paternalistic decision of who’s worthy and unworthy of health care Culturally-insensitive decisions in health care More awareness of health from modern technology Emphasis on physician/nurse education, improvement of health facilities Women’s reproductive health advocacy
- Kerr-Mills Act: Federal grants given to states to fund health care for elderly poor (only 28 states participated) No government cost control; federal government continued to keep its distance from an this assumed state-responsibility (The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, 2009).
- Under 65 with certain disabilities, People with ESRD, Railroad Retirement Board Poor = Aid to indigent aged, AFDC
- "It is estimated that as many as one in three low-income women who would have an abortion if the procedure were covered by Medicaid are instead compelled to carry the pregnancy“---even still, reproductive justice falls in the hands of individuals and private donors because the government won’t fund it.
