abstract: 'The question of how the American political process shapes inequality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remains unsettled. While recent studies break ground by linking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality to political institutions, much of this work focuses on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
national-level income inequality. The literature is lacking in its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examination of inequality in other issue areas at the subnational level.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This research explores how partisanship in government affects
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
subnational-level inequality in health care coverage in the context of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial diversity. Using a new Gini-coefficient measure of inequality in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health insurance coverage, we find a negative relationship between the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
seat share of Democratic representatives and inequality in health care
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
coverage but only in states with racially diverse populations. Moreover,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Democratic-controlled state legislatures mitigate the negative impact of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
racial diversity on inequality in health care coverage. These results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlight the importance of examining the partisan foundation of health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care inequality in the context of racial diversity.'
