    The document discusses several studies on the impact of health insurance on health. One study found that health insurance increases the use of medical care, including preventive care and management of chronic conditions. However, the impact on health outcomes is smaller and varies depending on the outcome measured. Other research has found that health insurance reduces financial barriers to care but may not always improve health if insurance does not guarantee access to good quality care. Overall, health insurance is most effective at improving health outcomes when it provides reliable access to timely, high-quality medical care.
