Study: Insurance, and lack thereof, a major barrier to healthcare

The York County Interagency Coalition Monday heard a preliminary report on a study being done by Duke University on unmet health care needs and barriers in the county.

One of Duke’s researchers, Susan Reif, says one of the study’s conclusions is that unmet health care needs seem to be relatively common for people who are uninsured or on Medicaid.

Anita Case with Catawba Care describes what the next steps are in responding to the study’s results.

The report is based on interviews, surveys and focus groups with health care providers and consumers.
