Abstract

Estimates from the 1977 National Medical Care Expenditure Survey suggest that divorced women are twice as likely as married women to be uninsured, and also more likely to depend on Medicaid assistance. Divorced women use slightly more health services than married women, but also appear to have somewhat poorer health status.
