The Washington Post (1/31, B4, Levine) reports that "[o]ne in five District residents have no regular source of healthcare, and rising rates of hospital visits suggest declining access to physicians and community clinics, according to the most comprehensive report ever of D.C. health issues." Investigators from the Rand Corp., which was commissioned by the D.C. Council, examined "data on chronic disease, insurance, hospital capacity, and emergency services, and found much wanting." The study found that "less than 10 percent of District residents are uninsured." Therefore, the problem is lack of access to primary care, not lack of health insurance. The investigators also found that "[p]atients with conditions that could have been prevented, or treated adequately, in a quality community setting, are showing up at" hospital emergency rooms. The report concluded, "It's going to take everybody working together to" change the system.
