Income-related inequities: Cross-sectional analyses of the use of medicare services in British Columbia in 1992 and 2002
Kimberlyn M McGrail
"Results: Small but systematic relationships were found between income and use of health care services for all types of services, with the exception of visits to general practitioners (GPs). Lower income is associated with greater conditional use of GPs and greater use of acute inpatient care. Higher income is associated with the greater use of specialist and surgical day care services; the latter inequity was found to grow substantially over time."
