Abstract Results from the NPHA highlight the link between health insurance affordability concerns and delaying/forgoing health care near retirement. We sought to determine factors associated with health insurance affordability concerns for US adults age 50-64. We regressed little/no confidence in health insurance affordability in retirement/within the next year on health insurance literacy, age, gender, race/ethnicity, income, employment, education, and health status. Factors associated with greater health insurance affordability concerns included lower health insurance literacy—measured via confidence knowing health insurance terms (aOR=1.78, p=0.035), identifying covered services (aOR=1.81, p=0.038), and finding out service costs (aOR=2.69, p<0.001)—female gender (aOR=1.73, p=0.001), and fair/poor health (aOR=1.88, p=0.020). Factors associated with fewer health insurance affordability concerns included African-American race (aOR=0.55, p=0.038) and higher income (aOR=0.34, p<0.001). These results suggest that it may be possible to reduce health insurance affordability concerns and delayed/forgone care by improving adults’ confidence in understanding and using health insurance.

Abstract Background Health care access is timely use of personal health services to achieve best health outcomes. Difficulties to access health care among reproductive age women may led to different negative health outcomes to death and disability. Therefore, this study aimed to assess factors associated with problems of accessing health care among reproductive age women in Ethiopia.Method This study was based on 2016 Ethiopia Demography and Health Survey. Individual women record (IR) file was used to extract the dataset and 15, 683 women were included in the final analysis. A composite variable of problem of accessing health care were created from four questions used to rate problem of accessing health care among reproductive age women. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) model was fitted to identify factors associated with problem of accessing health care. Crude and Adjusted odds ratio with a 95%CI computed to assess the strength of association between independent and outcome variables.Result In this study the magnitude of problem in accessing health care among reproductive age women was 69.9% of with 95%CI (69.3 to 70.7). Rural residence (AOR= 2.13, 95%CI: 1.79 to 2.53), women age 35-49 years (AOR= 1.24, 95%CI: 1.09 to 1.40), married/live together (AOR= 0.72, 95%CI: 0.64 to 0.81), had health insurance coverage (AOR=0.83, 95%CI: 0.70 to 0.95), wealth index [middle (AOR=0.75,95%CI: 0.66 to 0.85) and rich (AOR=0.47,95%CI:0.42 to 0.53)], primary education(AOR= 0.80, 95%CI: 0.73 to 0.88), secondary education (AOR= 0.57, 95%CI:0.50 to 0.64) and diploma and higher education (AOR= 0.43, 95%CI: 0.37 to 0.50) were factors associated with problem of health care access among reproductive age women.Conclusion Despite better coverage of health system, problems of health care access among reproductive age women were considerably high. Health insurance coverage, middle and rich wealth, primary and above educational level were negatively associated with problems health care access. In contrast, older age and rural residence were positively associated with problems of health care access among reproductive age women. This suggests that further interventions are necessary to increase universal reproductive health care access for the achievement of sustainable development goals.
