Kaiser has prepared this survey of more than 7,000 people in G7 nations in advance of the Group of 8 meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland. Public opinion in the countries (Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, and the United States) shows similarities among the nations on whether progress is being made on HIV/AIDS, if other countries are spending too little, and whether spending will lead to meaningful progress in slowing the epidemic.

The survey was originally presented at a meeting hosted by Kaiser, the Royal African Society, and the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) at the Marlborough House in London, England on June 30, 2005. Select leaders and experts from different sectors (government, business, research and development) participated in the meeting to explore the long-term financing implications of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

A new national survey of women on their health finds that a substantial percentage of women cannot afford to go to the doctor or get prescriptions filled. Although a majority of women are in good health and satisfied with their health care, many have health problems and do not get adequate levels of preventive care. The report also examines women’s health status, health care costs, insurance, access to care, prevention, and their role in family health care.

is a nationally representative telephone survey of 2,766 women ages 18 and older. A shorter companion survey of 507 men was conducted for comparison purposes.

Individuals cannot qualify for Medicaid nursing home care or home and community-based services unless they meet their state’s asset eligibility standards. Currently, states are required to examine all transfers for less than fair market value that occurred within 36 months prior to an individual’s application for Medicaid. This issue paper examines the assets of elderly people living in the community, focusing on those most at risk of using nursing home care. The paper finds that most elderly people living in the community do not have assets, excluding home equity, sufficient to finance a nursing home stay of one year or more. Of the one million elderly at high risk for nursing home use, 84 percent have asset levels that would be exhausted within one year of nursing home care and, of these, three-quarters have asset levels less than $5000.
