根据可预防的住院率记录，美国低收入人群的健康结果差异仍然很大，即使在20世纪80年代中期开始适度扩大医疗补助以及州和地方各级改善初级保健服务的努力。富人和穷人在结果上的这些差异并不是东北部一些古老而衰败的城市中心的孤立现象，而是在广泛的城市地区中记录在案的。安大略城市地区的差异要小得多，在那里，全民覆盖可能有助于减少获得护理的障碍。
Disparities in health outcomes for low-income populations as documented by rates of preventable hospital admissions remain large in the United States, even with the moderate expansion of Medicaid and efforts at the state and local levels to improve primary care services that began in the mid-1980s. These differences in outcome for rich and poor are not an isolated phenomenon of a few old and decaying Northeast urban centers but are documented in a broad range of urban areas. Much smaller differences are found in urban areas in Ontario, where universal coverage may help to reduce barriers to care.
