Cumulatively through its FY 2004, the US government has invested approximately $150 billion for domestic and international HIV/AIDS programs.
A recent survey conducted by The Washington Post, Kaiser Family Foundation, and Harvard University examines the views of Army spouses and their experiences with military life, including experiences with deployment and attitudes toward re-enlistment, as well as attitudes towards government and the media. The survey was conducted among spouses of active duty U.S. Army personnel serving on the ten largest U.S. Army bases.

AIDS in America: A Forgotten Epidemic? A Conference for News Leaders
The Kaiser Media Fellowships Program, in partnership with the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, hosts “AIDS in America: A Forgotten Epidemic? A Conference for News Leaders,” a conference for editors and news directors, Friday, March 19, to Sunday, March 21.
The conference includes presentations by David Satcher, M.D., former U.S. Surgeon General, Director of the National Center for Primary Care; Julie Gerberding, M.D., Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control; Anthony Fauci, M.D., Director of the National Institutes on Health, and others and a discussion of “AIDS at 21: Media Coverage of the HIV Epidemic 1981-2002,” a comprehensive new Kaiser study published in the March/April edition of the Columbia Journalism Review.
The event will be held in the Foundation’s Barbara Jordan Conference Center in Washington, DC.
The Kaiser Family Foundation and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism presented a similar conference for journalists in 2002, “The Coverage of HIV/AIDS: What’s Next?” that focused on the global AIDS crisis.
This issue brief examines low-income women’s health insurance coverage, experience with health plans and providers, and access to care. The analysis is based on data from the 2001 Kaiser Women’s Health Survey, a nationally representative survey of nearly 4,000 women between the ages of 18 and 64.
Using data from the 2001 Kaiser Women’s Health Survey, a nationally representative survey of nearly 4,000 women between the ages of 18 to 64, this issue brief explores racial and ethnic disparities in health care among women. It provides new information on the differences in health status, health insurance coverage, and selected measures of access to care across three racial/ethnic groups of women: African American, Latina, and white.
This survey brief of new analysis from the 2002 National Survey of Latinos examines Latinos experiences with health care in the United States. Topics discussed include coverage, accessing health care services, and communicating with health care providers.
This issue brief looks at the coverage impacts and costs of two components of the administration’s FY 2005 budget proposals to increase the affordability of health insurance: a new tax credit for people purchasing non-group health insurance and a new tax deduction for premiums for high-deductible, non-group health insurance policies.
The estimates were prepared by Jonathan Gruber, Ph.D., Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, using a micro-simulation model developed in conjunction with the Kaiser Family Foundation. The model predicts how individuals and firms would respond to changes in the health insurance market induced by changes in government policy.
