The effects of Medicaid on access to care and adherence to recommended preventive services.
Using MEPS data, the authors sought to quantify the impact of Medicaid enrollment on access to care and adherence to recommended preventive services. They found that Medicaid enrollment decreased the probability of having unmet needs for medical care and of experiencing delays getting prescription drugs. Medicaid enrollment increased the probability of having a usual source of care, of having a routine checkup, and of having a flu shot in past year.
