TL;DR: All disabled groups reported unmet need and service use greater than their nondisabled counterparts with the same insured status, with a focus on the uninsured.
Abstract: No studies to date have examined access to insurance coverage or medical care for a broadly defined population of uninsured nonelderly adults with disabilities. This analysis uses the 2002 National Survey of America's Families to examine access to coverage, access to care, and service use for a large sample of adults with disabilities, with a focus on the uninsured. All disabled groups reported unmet need and service use greater than their nondisabled counterparts with the same insured status. Access to coverage was most problematic for low-income adults with work limitations but no other indication of disability, with over one-third uninsured. This group deserves greater policy attention.

TL;DR: Findings show that uninsured women faced larger access barriers and utilized fewer services, particularly preventive care services, than women with either public or private coverage, and expansions in coverage, either through Medicaid or through private options, could improve access to care for uninsured women.
Abstract: Data from the 1997 National Survey of America's Families (NSAF) are used to analyze access to care and use of health care services for low-income women. Three groups of women are examined: those with Medicaid coverage, those with private coverage, and those with no insurance. Findings show that uninsured women faced larger access barriers and utilized fewer services, particularly preventive care services, than women with either public or private coverage. Access and use did not differ greatly between Medicaid and privately covered women. The results suggest that expansions in coverage, either through Medicaid or through private options, could improve access to care for uninsured women.
