Abstract:
This study describes the rates of health care access among Mexican Americans with different health insurance coverage. An interview questionnaire was used to collect information regarding sociodemographics, perceived health status, health insurance coverage, and sources of health care from a random sample of 501 Mexican Americans from San Antonio, Texas. Health care access was determined more by having health insurance coverage than by health care needs. Poor Mexican Americans with health insurance had higher health care access rates than did poor Mexican Americans without health insurance. Health care access may improve health care outcomes, but more comprehensive community-based campaigns to promote health and better use of health services in underprivileged populations should be developed.
