Description: Unequal Coverage : The Experience of Health Care Reform in the United States, Paperback by Mulligan, Jessica M. (EDT); Castaneda, Heide (EDT), ISBN 1479848735, ISBN-13 9781479848737, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Written by anthropology, sociology, and health researchers from the US, the 10 essays in this book describe the everyday experiences of individuals and families in nine states in the US as they attempted to access health insurance coverage and care after the passage of the Affordable Care Act between 2012 and 2017. They illustrate experiences with economic restructuring, inequality, and caring for oneself and one’s family in the context of shifting public policy that emphasized personal responsibility and the privatization of public services, and to show how social welfare policies claimed to be inclusive while also exhibiting exclusions. They consider three themes--stratified citizenship that mediated inclusion or exclusion from coverage due to immigration status, income, gender, race, and state of residence; how families calculated health and financial risks when enrolling in coverage or attempting to access health care services; and responsibility for health coverage--and how the law produced new social relations, modes of government, and experiences of care. They discuss how the Affordable Care Act emerged as an extension of social protections to some groups but also created new forms of exclusion due to state of residence, income, and citizenship status; how partisan political divisions led to geographic differences in the law’s implementation; and the social distribution of new responsibilities under the law and how people responded to the need to get enrolled, improve their health, and pay for coverage.
