What is the Safety Net? Health providers who have a legal obligation to provide free or reduced-fee care to those who could not otherwise afford it.

Why Do We Need a Safety Net? 75 million (est.) (29%) of Americans without health insurance on any given day in 2002 A cap on Medicaid enrollment would result in 67 million (24%) of population uninsured by 2002.

Access to Care by the Insured and Uninsured Type of CareInsuredUninsured Mammograms40%16% Pap Smears76%49% Prostate Exams20%12% Regular Source of Care 91%64% Routine Physical Exam 70%47% Problems Paying Medical Bills 18%39%

Who are the Safety-Net Providers? Medicaid (40.4 million low income adults, children, elderly and disabled in 2003). Safety Net Hospitals in 1997 (482 hospitals) Community and Migrant Health Centers (600 centers). Family Planning Clinics (4,000 clinics). Ryan White AIDS Program (136 projects). Health care for the homeless (129 projects). Public Health Departments. Rural Health Clinics (2,500 clinics).

Urban Public Hospitals ( ) Accounted for 7% of all hospitals. Provided 19% of all emergency room visits. Provided 18% of all outpatient visits. Nearly 50% of these patients were uninsured.

Who Pays for the Safety-Net? $129.9 billion federal funds for Medicaid in $94.3 billion in state funds for Medicaid in $17 billion federal funds for low-income hospitals in Medicaid costs consume 20% of state budgets. Local governments spent 17% of county budgets on health care in Hospitals provided $18.5 billion in uncompensated care in 1997.

Medicaid: The Insurance Safety-Net Provides coverage for 58% of those with incomes below the federal poverty line (2001: $8,590 individual; $17,650 family of four). Pays for 1 of 3 births. Provides coverage for 1 of 4 children. Provides coverage for 40% AIDS patients. Pays for 66% of nursing home care.

What Problems Do Safety net Providers Face? Marketplace pressures will make it difficult to make up losses. By 2002 hospitals will lose $20 billion in Medicaid; $14.4 billion in Medicare; $20 billion from private payers; $25 billion due to uncompensated care. Teaching and inner-city hospitals will operate at a loss; many will close. Providers will try to shift costs back to employers raising prices $1,000 per covered worker.

Strategies for Expanding Health Insurance Coverage Tax Credits. Expanding Public Programs (e.g., Medicaid, SCHIP) Combination of the two approaches.

Public Willingness to Pay 53% of the American public are willing to pay at least $30 per month to cover the uninsured 46% are only willing to pay $5 per month or nothing at all

Public Support for Reform Options 21% Expand Medicaid and SCHIP 21% Require businesses to offer private health insurance to their employees 20% Provide tax deductions and credits to help people purchase private health insurance
