Care Without Coverage-Perpustakaan.org

Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need.
Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance.
The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status.
The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks.
It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance.
This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country.
The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

The Gathering Crisis in Federal Deposit Insurance-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Edward J. Kane
Published by Mit PressPublished since 1985-07-01
The system of federal deposit insurance adopted during the 1930s has become increasingly costly and unreliable.
This timely study warns bankers, regulators, politicians, and taxpayers that no matter how well the deposit-insurance system may have run in the past it is headed for an expensive bureaucratic breakdown.
It forcefully argues that unless market discipline can be reintroduced, this breakdown threatens to take depository institutions into de facto nationalization.
Reversing these trends, it points out, requires redesigning the deposit insurance system to curtail the subsidizing of risk taking by deposit institutions, a practice that has resulted in widespread insolvency among financial institutions.The Gathering Crisis in Federal Deposit Insurance provides more than a warning.
It shows that the current system is unfair and has transformed the federal government into the chief supplier of equity funds to depository institutions.
And it observes that whenever the financial environment is changing rapidly, the existing system of deposit insurance subsidizes risk-taking in ways that impose a huge, but largely unrecognized burden on the general taxpayer and conservatively managed financial institutions.
In one way or another, the taxpayer is going to be called upon to make good the financially staggering amount of the system's guarantees.The book provides a comprehensive discussion of FDIC and FSLIC policies and procedures, describes the variety of risks facing deposit institutions and their implications for the insurance system, explains the perverse risk-bearing incentives inherent in the current deposit insurance system, documents the extent of actual insolvency at insured institutions, and proposes a framework for reform.Edward J.

Government Support to Agricultural Insurance-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Olivier Mahul
Published by World Bank PublicationsPublished since 2010-03-08
Governments in developing countries have been increasingly involved in the support of agricultural (crop and livestock) insurance programs in recent years.
In their attempts to design and implement agricultural insurance, they have sought technical and financial assistance from the international community and particularly from the World Bank.
One of the recurrent requests from governments regards international experience with agricultural insurance, not only in developed countries, where in some cases agricultural insurance has been offered for more than a century, but also in middleand low-income countries.
Governments are particularly interested in the technical, operational, financial, and institutional aspects of public support to agricultural insurance.
'Government Support to Agricultural Insurance' informs public and private decision makers involved in agricultural insurance about recent developments, with a particular focus on middle- and low-income countries.
It presents an updated picture of the spectrum of institutional frameworks and experiences with agricultural insurance, ranging from countries in which the public sector provides no support to those in which governments heavily subsidize agricultural insurance.
This analysis is based on a survey conducted by the World Bank s agricultural insurance team in 2008 in 65 developed and developing countries.
Drawing on the survey results, the book identifies some key roles governments can play to support the development of sustainable, affordable, and cost-effective agricultural insurance programs.
