چکیده
The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a powerful tool for analyzing enrollees' access to medical care(Adler, 1994). Based on a stratified random sample, we can derive information about the health care use, expenditure, and financing of Medicare's 36 million enrollees. We can also learn about those enrollees' health status, living arrangements, and access to and satisfaction with care. In the charts that follow, we have presented some findings on how long it takes enrollees to get an appointment with a provider, how they get to the provider's office, and how long their wait is when they get there.
