Access to health does not mean that the quality of care will be good or that the outcome will be good either. The likelihood of having better quality of care and better health outcomes is significantly higher with good insurance. There were multiple studies showing that people with Medicaid and people without health insurance with throat cancer were 50% more likely to die than people with private insurance with throat cancer (Medicaid, n.d.). Another study showed poor outcomes after heart surgery between groups. The outcomes showed, “patients with Medicaid who underwent coronary angioplasty were 59% more likely to have major adverse cardiac events, such as strokes and heart attacks” (Medicaid, n.d.). These poor patient outcomes and poor access to health could be due to the fact that physicians usually lose money when treating a person with Medicaid and therefore treatment gets delayed. Different social determinants play a role in health outcomes and access to health because according to the US Census Bureau, African Americans represent 27% and Hispanics represented 26% of Medicaid users (Medicaid, n.d.). The article also brought up that mothers with Medicare seeking care for their children were denied 66% of the time compared to mothers seeking care for their children, with private insurance, were only denied 11% of the time. This leaves many people with low income with less access to health and poorer health outcomes.
