Coverage and care consequences for families in which children have mixed eligibility for public insurance.
The researchers used data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component for 2001–12 to examine insurance coverage, access to care, and health care use for eligible children in families with mixed eligible siblings compared to those in families where all siblings were eligible for one program. They found that mixed eligibility has a significant dampening effect for eligible children.

Health care utilization and receipt of preventive care for patients seen at federally funded health centers compared to other sites of primary care.
The investigators compared utilization and preventive care receipt among patients of federal Section 330 health centers (HCs) versus patients of other settings. They found that HC patients had fewer office visits and hospitalizations, were more likely to receive breast cancer screening, had fewer outpatient and emergency room visits, and were more likely to receive dietary advice compared to non-HC patients.
