A young mother has detected a lump in her breast, and because she lives at the poverty level, she is covered under Medicaid. This individual:
a. is more likely to participate in mammography screening than are individuals covered by private insurance.
b. has designated primary care and a specialist as sources of care.
c. will more likely wait to seek care and will require hospitalization for a mastectomy, which could have been avoided if care had been sought earlier.
d. has decreased access to health care when compared with the uninsured.
ANS: C
Correct: Even with improved access as compared with the uninsured, Medicaid recipients are not as likely to obtain needed health services. The poor are more likely to lack a usual source of care, are less likely to use preventive services, and are more likely to be hospitalized for avoidable conditions than are those who are not poor.
Incorrect:
a. The poor are less likely to participate in preventive services.
b. The poor usually do not have a usual source of care.
d. Through Medicaid the client actually has enhanced access to health care resources.
