In second place is expanding access to health coverage. Among other findings:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>About three of four Nebraskans (76 percent) support a sign\u2010up requirement for health care coverage, compared to 59 percent nationally;<br \/>\n<LI>About three in 10 insured Nebraskans (31 percent) said they postponed or skipped medical services in the past year to save money;<br \/>\n<LI>About three in 10 Nebraskans (31 percent) said they had problems paying for medical services in the past year, including 1 in 4 insured Nebraskans (26 percent);<br \/>\n<LI>About one in five insured Nebraskans (18 percent) spent at least $5,000 on health care last year; and<br \/>\n<LI>Of the uninsured, three in four (76 percent) had trouble paying for a medical service last year; two in three (66 percent) postponed or skipped care to save money; and four in 10 (40 percent) were denied health care coverage.<\/UL><\/p>\n<p>The independent survey was conducted in April by KRC Research, a national polling organization. The survey polled a demographically representative cross\u2010section of more than 500 Nebraskans. There was no statistical difference in the responses of urban versus rural survey respondents.<\/p>\n<p>According to national studies, more than one in four Nebraskans age 65 and under lacked health insurance some time during 2006 and 2007, and an estimated one in 10 Nebraskans was uninsured for all of 2006.<\/p>\n<p>To address this health care crisis and related unsustainable increases in health care costs, the NMA this year adopted a health care reform initiative that calls for insurance coverage for all Nebraskans with subsidized premiums for those who cannot afford coverage. <\/p>\n<p>The plan also addresses cost reduction initiatives, disease prevention and wellness education programs, incentives for health care providers to establish practices in medically underserved areas of the state and an exchange of health care information statewide at local health care delivery sites.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a moral imperative for quality, affordable health coverage for all Nebraskans,&#8221; said John Benson, M.D., UNMC professor of internal medicine, who with Creighton University&#8217;s Richard O&#8217;Brien, M.D., co\u2010chairs the 25\u2010member NMA Health Care Reform Task Force. &#8220;This survey underscores the concern state residents have about their own health coverage and their overwhelming support for health coverage for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. O&#8217;Brien added that the majority of the uninsured are workers who lack employer health care benefits or the means to pay for insurance. <\/p>\n<p><TABLE border=\"0\" width=\"250\" cellspacing=\"15\" cellpadding=\"10\" align=\"right\"><br \/>\n<TR><br \/>\n<TD><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\n<font face=\"arial\"><br \/>\n<B><br \/>\n&#8220;There is a moral imperative for quality, affordable health coverage for all Nebraskans.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/B><br \/>\n<BR><\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\n<font face=\"arial\" size=\"1\"><br \/>\nJohn Benson, M.D.<br \/>\n<\/P><br \/>\n<\/FONT><br \/>\n<\/TD><br \/>\n<\/TR><br \/>\n<\/TABLE>&#8220;No one should go without care, yet many do. Lack of health coverage often leads to more expensive, delayed medical treatment, needless suffering, and avoidable deaths,&#8221; Dr. O&#8217;Brien said. &#8220;We all pay for unreimbursed care of the uninsured one way or another in suffering or in money. It&#8217;s a hidden tax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The NMA is enlisting organizations throughout the state to form a broad\u2010based coalition to support state legislation to ensure that all Nebraskans have quality health coverage.<\/p>\n<p>The Nebraska Medical Association was founded in 1868, and currently represents nearly 3,000 Nebraska physicians, students and residents. The mission of the Nebraska Medical Association is to serve physician members by advocating for the medical profession, for patients and for the health of all Nebraskans.
