  1. This is an article is worth reading for the details and the data. Here is a link to the article: http://download.journals.elsevierhealth.com/pdfs/journals/1876-2859/PIIS1876285910002500.pdf

    For those of you wondering, Georgia was somewhere in the middle in the composite quality measure:Adequate insurance coverage,a preventive care visit and having a medical home.
    Two things that suprised me - more than a quarter of parents of privately insured children reported/complained of inadequate insurance coverage, more than those publicly insured; and fewer privately insured children had at least one preventive care visit in the last year!
