Those with unmet social needs, like not having enough food to eat, also have poorer health care access and quality, after accounting for other factors. Biggest disparity is in access due to cost of a doc visit. https://t.co/buEDIEm03p

Now out in @JAMANetworkOpen, @JackieeEllison @amal_trivedi & I find HDHPs are disproportionately associated w/ cost-related barriers to care for Black cancer survivors. Policies that limit deductibles and tackle structural racism & inequities are critical

Our new study in @Health_Affairs shows first 2 years of Medicaid expansion bolstered quality and service use for rural CHCs. Important as more states, esp rural ones, consider expansion.
