Long-term health care for the Black elderly
For this article, the authors used the National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) to look athealth insurance coverage for persons aged 50 and older. Although previous research has shownthat race, gender, and region influence health insurance status, little is known about how thesefactors interact to affect that status. It was found that there is a crucial intersection of gender,race, and region in the reliance on Medicaid and in not having any insurance for persons aged50 and older. Over 73% of southern Black women are covered by Medicaid, compared to 9.4%,16.6%, and 33% of southern White men, White women, and Black men, respectively. Having noinsurance or insurance coverage through Medicaid, being unmarried, and having low levels offormal education are associated with reports of significantly higher levels of disability amongolder women. The article concludes with the implications of these findings for national healthand family policy.
