The more rural someone is, the more likely they are to be dissatisfied with Medicare, says a recently published study in The Journal of Rural Health.
Researchers in the Rural Health Research Center at the University of Minnesota's studied data from the 2016 Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey, which measured respondents' satisfaction with nine different measures related to Medicare quality, access, and/or affordability. The study had more than 10,000 respondents nationwide.

"These findings may have implications for access to and quality of care that rural Medicare beneficiaries receive and their subsequent health outcomes," the researchers write. Read more here.
