| Popis: | The relationship of medical insurance, utilization and health status indicators was examined for 463 elderly individuals. The uninsured were less well and tended to utilize the health care system more often than those with more types of coverage. Need was found to be the best predictor of utilization. A profile describing those with above average levels of well-being also was developed. Methodological issues and health care policy recommendations are discussed. |
