美國民主黨和共和黨的比較之二:基本醫療保險

海闊天空

 

自從2021年1月拜登內閣和民主黨掌控的國會通過了一些措施,以改善在COVID-19公共衛生緊急狀態期間獲得公共和私人醫療保險的機會,包括繼續為接受醫療補助的人提供保險,並出台政策,幫助人們獲得和負擔醫療費用。這些和其他聯邦和州的政策促使36個州的公共覆蓋率增加,導致2021年28個州的無保險率降低。

根據人口普查局2021年美國社區調查(ACS)的1年估計, 2021年,8.6%的美國人口沒有健康保險覆蓋。它比2019年的9.2%有所改善。根據2020年的選舉結果,如果一個州投票給拜登,則為藍色,如果投票給特朗普則為紅色。

 

  • 2021年,無保險率從深藍色的馬薩諸塞州的2.5%到深紅色的德克薩斯州的18.0%不等。
  • 隻有一個州--北達科他州(紅州)--2021年的無保險率高於2019年。
  • 在無醫療保險率最低的前10個州中,有9個藍州,隻有1個紅州(愛荷華州)。
  • 在無醫療保險率最低的第11-20個州中,有8個藍色州,隻有2個紅色州(肯塔基州和西弗吉尼亞州)。然而,應該注意的是,自2019年以來,肯塔基州的州長一直是民主黨人安迪-貝希爾;而西弗吉尼亞州的州長在轉為共和黨人之前是一名民主黨人。
  • 在無醫療保險率最高的第31-40個州中,有9個州是紅州,隻有1個藍州(新墨西哥州)。
  • 在無醫療保險率最高的第41-51個州中,9個州完全由共和黨控製。

讀者問:無證移民是否有資格享受醫療補助、CHIP、Medicare、ACA?

建立全民醫療保健是現代文明社會的基本特征之一。大多數經合組織(OECD)國家已經實現了一套核心服務的普遍或幾乎普遍的健康覆蓋,這些服務通常包括與醫生和專家的谘詢、檢查和外科手術。在31個OECD國家中,有22個國家的人口覆蓋率達到了100%。

During the past two years, the Biden Administration and Congress passed measures to improve access to public and private health insurance coverage during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency including continuing coverage for people receiving Medicaid and introducing policies to help people access and afford the cost of care.

 

These and other federal and state policies contributed to an increase in public coverage in 36 states, leading to lower uninsured rates in 28 states in 2021. Only one state – North Dakota – had a higher uninsured rate in 2021 than in 2019, according to the Census Bureau’s 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 1-year estimates.

In 2021, 8.6% of the U.S. population had no health insurance coverage. It improved from 9.2% in 2019.

Based on the 2020 Election results, a state is BLUE if it voted for Biden, RED if it voted for Trump.

  • In 2021, the uninsured rate ranged from 2.5% in deep blue Massachusetts to 18.0% in deep red Texas.
  • Among the top 10 states with the lowest uninsured rate, 9 blue states and only 1 red state (Iowa).
  • Among the 11th – 20th states with the lowest uninsured rate, 8 blue states and only 2 red state (Kentucky and West Virginia). However, it should be noted that the governor of Kentucky since 2019 has been Andy Beshear, a Democrat; and the governor in West Virginia was a Democrat before he switched to Republican.
  • Among the 31st – 40th states with the highest uninsured rate, 9 states red states and only 1 blue state (New Mexico).  
  • Among the 41st – 51th states with the highest uninsured rate, 9 states were fully controlled by the Republican parties.
