A study of women prisoners' use of co-payments for health care: issues of access.
We sought to analyze women prisoners' use of co-payments for health care; how co-payments affect their access to health care; and how they view the impact of co-payments on their health. ⋯ Co-payments place an unfair burden on prisoners who are poor, limit access to health care, and contribute to needless suffering and potentially to preventable deaths.
