The Politics of Health Care—E-Seminar 3, The Uninsured
Michael S. Sparer

For example, uninsured children are less likely to be treated for ear infections than children who have health insurance. Similarly, uninsured women are less likely to undergo regular mammograms to screen for breast cancer, while uninsured men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer at a later stage of the disease. Enter.
