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.

A concentric neighborhood solution to disparity in liver access that contains current UNOS districts.
Policymakers are deliberating policy reforms to reduce geographic disparity in liver allocation. This study conducted simulations comparing current allocation with the neighborhoods and sharing policies. The study concluded that the current 11 districts can be adapted systematically by adding neighboring donor service areas (DSAs) to improve geographic disparity, mortality, and airplane travel distance. Modifications to Share 35 and Share 15 policies result in further improvements.
