According to a recent survey, Medicaid enrollees report worse overall health as a result of being unable to access care compared to those with other health coverage, despite giving their health insurance an overall positive rating.

KFF’s Survey of Consumer Experience with Health Insurance asked individuals covered by different types of insurance to rate the overall performance of their health insurance. The survey was conducted from Feb. 21 through Mar. 14 and focused on Medicaid recipients.
