State policies and enrollees' experiences in Medicaid: evidence from a new national survey.
This study examined patient satisfaction among Medicaid enrollees nationally from 2014-2015. Significant disparities were found among racial/ethnic groups. Managed care enrollees had higher satisfaction ratings than those with fee-for-service. If the patient had a personal doctor that increased satisfaction for an average 4.6 percent.

Health care engagement and follow-up after perceived discrimination in maternity care.
The authors sought to determine if perceived discrimination during the birth hospitalization is associated with postpartum follow-up care. Using data from the Listening to Mothers III survey, they found that women who experienced perceived discrimination (race/ethnicity, insurance type, difference of opinion with provider about care) had more than twice the odds of postpartum visit nonattendance, after adjusting for socioeconomic and medical characteristics.
