About JAMA Network Open: JAMA Network Open is the new online-only open access general medical journal from the JAMA Network. On weekdays, the journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical research and commentary in more than 40 medical and health subject areas. Every article is free online from the day of publication.
About The Study: Researchers examined racial and ethnic disparities in health insurance coverage among Black and Hispanic adults compared with white adults ages 60 to 64. Congress is considering several health policy reforms, including lowering the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 60, which could help reduce any disparities in coverage.
