Description

Louisiana and Mississippi rank last in serving Medicare recipients, a new study shows. People in both states who are covered by the federal health insurance program that primarily serves older adults have more trouble accessing and affording care than those in other states, and the quality of care they receive is lower, according to a report released Thursday by the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that studies health care access in the U.S. David Ridenour, Chairman of the National Center for Public Policy Research, joins Newell to talk about it.
