Inner-city medically underinsured adults describe their preferences for health care and willingness to pay for health care services. The responses of 146 patients attest to the burden of administrative and economic responsibility placed on the public health care sector for indigent patient care. The results of this survey address the information required by the nurse managers who must balance patient needs against administrative pressures to generate revenue from patient fees.
