Usual Source of Care Among Adults Aged 18-64 Years Post-ACA, 2010-2017.
This study assessed changes in self-reported usual source of care (USC) across income groups and rural-urban settings after Affordable Care Act implementation, using 2010-2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey data. Multivariable regression estimated adjusted percentage changes in USC and reasons for lacking one. Usual source of care prevalence rose modestly (67% to 68%), with significant gains among low-income adults (+4.96% rural, +2.45% urban) and a small decline among urban high-income adults. Affordability-related barriers decreased, while accessibility and individual preference barriers increased. Findings suggest that insurance expansion alone may not ensure continuous care, especially given persistent non-financial access challenges.
