(London.CityRegions.com, June 15, 2013 ) London, UK -- A new study finds those who have health insurance are hospitalized less than those who are not. The former group insures lower healthcare costs in total, according to the study shown in Health Affairs.
Researches studied the administrative claims collected from over 9,600 low-income, childless adults within Wisconsin who have previously enrolled in public insurance titled BadgerCare since 2009.
The following year, a decrease of 59% was seen for inpatient care, as well as preventable hospitalization, which decreased by 48% overall. The researchers noted the decline was likely due to an increased opportunity for preventative treatment and medicine. Such attainment of medications and medicines increased by 29% within the same time period.
Researchers noted that all findings pointed to an increase in health care under the Patient Protection, as well as the Affordable Care Act, increased potential for variables that reduced the number of unnecessary hospitalizations. They also noted a decrease in the total of the nation's health care spending.
The numbers are collected from a time when the United States was still in the grips of the recession that hit during 2007 and persisted through 2012. The likelihood of higher costs during times that lower income families find more disposable income means that reduction of costs could be even more substantial in times of prosperity.
The reduction in overall healthcare costs in the state point to a strong argument for upping access to such preventative health care options. The reduction would likely increase savings across the board for lower income households. The demographic is well known for adding a significant tally to the overall spending in the healthcare sector with unnecessary visitations and post-incident admissions that are often not worth the price of visitation.
