Job Turnover — A Problem with Employer-Based Health Care

Propagating Kaposi's Sarcoma–Associated Herpesvirus

“…Seroepidemiologic analysis has suggested that KSHV has a more limited distribution than any of the other seven human herpesviruses. 10,12,15 Thus far, serologic analyses have suggested that infection occurs primarily in sexually active people, particularly homosexual men. Improvement in the sensitivity of the assay by the inclusion of immunodominant viral antigens expressed during active replication will almost certainly modify our understanding of the distribution of KSHV throughout the world.…”

“…10 It is conceivable that this reduction in the rate of angiographically documented disease progression could be associated with a reduction in coronary events if a study investigating the issue had adequate statistical power; this possibility is supported by the recent trials of lipid-lowering therapy, which involved several thousand patients with some degree of hypercholesterolemia either with or without clinical evidence of coronary artery disease. [11][12][13] Since the formation of thrombi appears to be an important factor in early or acute occlusion as well as in chronic or late progression of atherosclerosis in native coronary arteries and saphenous-vein bypass grafts, a promising approach to prevention is the use of antithrombotic agents. 14 Thus far, the greatest benefit of antiplatelet and anticoagulant agents has been observed in the prevention of acute coronary events in the native circulation -usually, acute occlusion at the site of disruption of relatively small plaques 14 -and the prevention of graft occlusion within the first postoperative year -usually when the graft is still wide open.…”

Health Insurance and Job Mobility: Theoryand Evidence

“…Congressional Research Service 1988). Consideration of ways to make health insurance coverage "seamless," with regard tojob mobility, periods of unemployment, or periods of nonparticipation in the labor market, is an important aspect of the current health care reform debate and underlies the design of "health alliances" in the reform proposal of the Clinton Administration (Schorr 1990;Greenberg 1990;Pauly etal. 1991).…”

Distributional impacts of public policies : essays in ex-ante and ex-post evaluation

“…Based on the existing research evidence, one could expect that people in seasonal (temporary) or transitory employment are less likely to use healthcare compared to those in a year-round employment (e.g. Schorr, 1990). According to EUROFOUND information (Wlodarski, 2010), temporary work in Luxembourg traditionally applies more to industrial and construction sectors.…”
