SES-1030418PI: Stefan TimmermansInstitution: University of California, Los AngelesThis study will focus on the different ways by which a growing uninsured population challenges community life in two socio-economically disadvantaged Southern California communities. Based on interviews and historical research, the research will map the decisions of health care providers to serve their communities, examine health care-seeking behavior of both the uninsured and insured population, and review the policy decisions taken by community stakeholders in light of a growing uninsured population. Broader Impacts:Documenting hidden social and financial costs for entire communities may show that not expanding insurance coverage has already eroded access and quality of health care for many insured Americans. In addition, examining the ways by which a rise in the uninsured affects communities will give policy makers insight in the broader public benefits and drawbacks of the recently passed health care reform.

SES-1030418 PI：Stefan TimmermansInstitution：University of加州，洛杉矶本研究将重点关注两个社会经济弱势的南加州社区中不断增长的无保险人口挑战社区生活的不同方式。基于访谈和历史研究，该研究将映射医疗保健提供者的决定，以服务于他们的社区，检查医疗保健寻求行为的未投保和投保人口，并审查社区利益相关者根据不断增长的未投保人口所采取的政策决定。 更广泛的影响：记录整个社区隐藏的社会和财务成本可能表明，不扩大保险覆盖范围已经侵蚀了许多投保美国人的医疗保健服务和质量。此外，研究无保险人群的增加对社区的影响方式，将使政策制定者深入了解最近通过的医疗保健改革的更广泛的公共利益和缺点。
