The effect of the illness episode approach on Medicare beneficiaries' health insurance decisions.
This article reports on a quasi-experimental test of the Illness Episode Approach (IEA), a new approach to providing Medicare beneficiaries with information about the financial consequences of alternative health care coverage decisions. Beneficiaries were randomly assigned to free, three-hour workshops, half using materials developed through application of the IEA, half using traditional comparative information on insurance options. Analysis of data collected before and after the workshops indicates that participants in the Illness Episode sessions were more likely to drop duplicative coverage, to spend less on premiums, and to report that their decisions to change coverage had met their expectations. The entire sample of workshop participants showed significant increases in knowledge of Medicare and their own insurance, as well as improved satisfaction with the cost of their health care coverage.

Medicaid and indigent care issue brief: Medicaid: eligibility: year end report-2003.
Medicaid provides health insurance coverage to low-income children, parents meeting specific income thresholds, pregnant women, the elderly and people with disabilities. In 1999, Medicaid provided health care insurance to approximately 32 million low-income Americans. However, in that same year, 42 million Americans had no health insurance at all. In order to reduce the number of people without health insurance, states have expanded or clarified their eligibility standards to allow more people to enroll in Medicaid and other medical assistance programs.
Finance issue brief: comprehensive consumer rights bill: year end report-2003.
The health care industry has historically used established formats for patient rights in order to maintain the integrity and quality of care in all settings of care provision. By establishing rights and responsibilities for patients, it increased patient involvement and created boundaries for acceptable practice for health care providers. As the provision of health care is evolving and including the health payor as never before, legislators are faced with the task of bridging the gap for consumers by creating protective measures that are referred to as a "Patient's Bill of Rights".
