A Shared Destiny is the fourth in a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United States. This report examines how the quality, quantity, and scope of community health services can be adversely affected by having a large or growing uninsured population. It explores the overlapping financial and organizational basis of health services delivery to uninsured and insured populations, the effects of community uninsurance on access to health care locally, and the potential spillover effects on a community s economy and the health of its citizens. The committee believes it is both mistaken and dangerous to assume that the persistence of a sizable uninsured population in the United States harms only those who are uninsured.
"...an exhaustive review of the research literature and original analysis of hospital data... A review of the available evidence makes a convincing case that high levels of uninsurance can create financial strains sufficient to affect the more general supply and capacity of the health care system. ... Although more research is needed, A Shared Destiny is an excellent start and resource for broadening this discussion." -- Journal of the American Medical Association, February 4, 2004
