Question asks “In the last 6 months, were you unable to get medical care, tests, or treatments you or a doctor believed necessary?” Estimates use linear probability models and adjusted models include the following covariates: age, sex, educational attainment, self-reported health status, receipt of assistance completing the survey (reading questions, writing down answers, answering questions on the enrollee’s behalf, translating questions into the enrollee’s language, or other), enrollee eligibility group (persons with disabilities, dual eligible, or other [fee-for-service primary care case management or Medicaid managed care]), and Medicaid expansion status. All analyses apply survey weights.
