Health Insurance Coverage and Health Expenditures

This overview report is the first in a series prepared for the Kaiser Family Foundation by the Barents Group to study current — and future — health care spending and coverage in three key states: New York, California, and Texas. It provides a comprehensive picture of health care spending and coverage today in these states as well as a forecast of what is likely to happen in each by the year 2000. The model designed for this report can also be used to estimate and analyze the impact of specific reforms on these states. Copies of the reports for each individual states are also available: Analysis of California Health Care Expenditures: 1994-2000 (#1059); Analysis of New York Health Care Expenditures: 1994-2000 (#1060); and Analysis of Texas Health Care Expenditures: 1994-2000 (#1061).
