Description

This article examines satisfaction with health care among rural vs urban Medicare cancer survivors. Researchers looked at nine dimensions of health care and tested for rural/urban differences, adjusting for demographic factors, health insurance, and self-rated health. Rural cancer survivors were found to be less satisfied with the accessibility and ease of getting care at a centralized location.
