| pubmed-article:11558246 | pubmed:abstractText | This study examined three dimensions of access to medical services that contribute to social equity in distribution--availability, accessibility, and acceptability--in order to examine the equity of two medical system arrangements in the United States of America: the traditional fee-for-services scheme and the newer, health maintenance organization (HMO) approach. Equity was compared among three racial/ethnic groups of older adults in the country: European-Americans (the majority in the United States), African-Americans, and Latin Americans (Latinos). | lld:pubmed |
