Reports of forgone medical care among US adults during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This survey measured the frequency of foregone medical care due to COVID-19 from March to mid-July 2020. Johns Hopkins created the COVID-19 Civic Life and Public Health Survey wave 1, with 1468 individuals completing the survey. The sample of respondents were 52% women, 63% non-Hispanic White, 12% Black, and 17% Hispanic. The mean age of respondents was 48 years. A total of 41% of respondents forwent medical care during the March to mid-July time period. Among the 1055 individuals who reported needing care, 52% reported forgoing care for any reason, 29% forwent care owing to fear of COVID-19 transmission, and 7% forwent care owing to financial concerns associated with the pandemic. Respondents lacking any health insurance were more likely to forgo care than respondents with Medicare or commercial insurance.

Impacts of the Affordable Care Act on receipt of women's preventive services in Community Health Centers in Medicaid expansion and nonexpansion states.
Researchers assessed whether ACA implementation and Medicaid expansion were followed by greater receipt of recommended preventive services among women and girls in a large network of community health centers. Data was collected from electronic health records in 14 states. The researchers found that among female patients at community health centers, receipt of recommended preventive care improved after ACA implementation in both Medicaid expansion and non-expansion states, although the overall rates remained low. They recommended continued support to overcome barriers to preventive care in this population.
