  • Title: Barriers to health care for children. How's Florida doing?
    Author: Neiberger RE.
    Journal: J Fla Med Assoc; 1991 Apr; 78(4):227-9. PubMed ID: 2056301.
    Abstract:
    Three primary barriers, financial, system, and knowledge, must be overcome to ensure quality health care for all children. Attempts to identify strengths and weaknesses in Florida's child health care system are directed at removing these barriers. Strengths include: an Institute of Child Health Planning, a legislative proposal to link child health insurance to school enrollment, several populous cities supporting good medical facilities and the availability of health care for all children. Areas of weakness include: lack of medical resources in underserved areas, disproportionate spending on health care for elderly versus young, and lack of identified financial resources to pay for school-linked health insurance.
