Uninsured vs. Insured: Preventive Health Care Services

People without health insurance are less likely than those with insurance to report receiving certain preventive services in the past year. For instance, in 2000, while three-quarters (76%) of women with health insurance reported receiving a pap smear in the past year, compared with fewer than half (49%) of uninsured women. [Note, while these numbers are from 2000, the 2005 Health Care Costs Survey also found that 85% of the insured reporting visiting a doctor in the previous year, compared with 59% of the uninsured.]
