'Double jeopardy' measure suggests blacks and Hispanics face more severe disparities than previously indicated.
The authors proposed a new way of conceptualizing and quantifying the racial and ethnic disadvantages of uninsurance over the course of a lifetime. Their measures indicated that, compared to whites, Hispanics and blacks are more likely not only to be uninsured at any point throughout most of their lives, but also to spend more years uninsured and spend more of these uninsured years at high risk of needing medical care. They concluded that these life expectancy measures have the potential to reframe the discussion of disparities and monitor progress toward their elimination.
