Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Having inadequate or no health insurance leads to poor health outcomes due to lack of early screening and preventive measures, including regular physical examinations and immunizations, delays in getting treatment, and use of emergency rooms for worsening conditions with no continuity of care, all as efforts to save money. Expanding health insurance hopefully would promote increased use of early screenings, decreased emergency room visits, more continuity of care, and better health outcomes all around with less disparities.
