Medicaid's impact on chronic disease biomarkers: a cohort study of community health center patients.
This study assessed changes in biomarkers of chronic disease among community health center (CHC) patients who gained Medicaid coverage with the Oregon Medicaid expansion (2008-2011). It found that patients with uncontrolled chronic conditions experienced objective health improvements over time. In two of three chronic disease cohorts, those who gained Medicaid coverage were more likely to achieve a controlled measurement than those who remained uninsured.

Occupational therapy and management of multiple chronic conditions in the context of health care reform.
One in four individuals living in the United States has multiple chronic conditions (MCCs), and the already high prevalence of MCCs continues to grow. Occupational therapy is uniquely positioned to contribute to more efficient, effective, client-centered management of care. By integrating findings from the literature with current policy and practice, the authors aim to highlight the potential role for occupational therapy in managing MCCs within the evolving health care system.
