Opinion: 'Medicaid expansion can and does improve access to care'

Sen. Jim Perry recently wrote an op-ed expressing concerns that expanding Medicaid could create pressures on the availability of primary care physicians, which has declined in North Carolina. He even cited a 2011 article that I wrote, before the Medicaid expansions began, about the risk of this. I appreciate Sen. Perry raising this issue (and am a little amazed that he tracked down an old paper of mine!)
