Funding Information:
Smokers are more at risk of being uninsured. This finding supports the results of previous research conducted in the USA [25]. The researchers argued that the phenomenon was probably related to the fact that smokers were usually associated with other vulnerability factors, such as lower socioeconomic status [25,26]. Our finding also shows that people with lower wealth are more at risk of being uninsured. Other research revealed the same finding [27]. Additionally, Van Doorslaer, Masseria, and Koolman [28] observed that individuals with higher incomes are markedly more inclined to seek the services of a specialist than those with lower incomes, and this pattern is consistently observed in most countries. In contrast, a study by Adamson et al. [18] revealed that individuals in lower socioeconomic positions are more likely to report immediate care-seeking behavior.
