Employer-based health insurance and seniors: the case of Bermuda

NL Chappell and MJ Penning
Centre on Aging, Department of Sociology, Victoria, Canada.

This article examines the importance of economic factors in physician and other health service utilization among older adults living in Bermuda. Using data drawn from a national survey of 500 Bermudian elders, the findings reveal economic factors to be unrelated to the use of physician services directly, but to be significant determinants of the use of other health services. Need plus non-need factors are related to the use of both physician and other health services. The employer-based system does seem to provide universal access, but factors in addition to need influence the receipt of care.
