Scientific Study from the year 2003 in the subject Pedagogy - Science, Theory, Anthropology, grade: A, California State University, Los Angeles, course: Medical Anthropology, language: English, abstract: This paper presents from a theoretical perspective critical analyses of the impact of the lack of health insurance on illness, suffering and death of the Asian and Pacific American population. It addresses critical concerns on the proportions of the uninsured, their demographic characteristics, population growth, disease prevalence, access to care and health outcomes. We engage in findings that illuminate the complex processes involved in disparities in insurance coverage that exist for the uninsured. We limit our discussion in terms of social policy, not so much to minimize the importance of other relevant narratives but to prevent contradiction of certain social and political contexts in which this type of research is situated.
