"A successful payer-based PCMH program depends on whether primary care providers believe the components are useful for improving care quality. Our study found that improved communication and trust between providers and payers is crucial for the success of these programs."
- Gilbert Gimm, associate professor at George Mason University.

Health centers in Medicaid expansion states, compared to those in nonexpansion states, were significantly more likely to report improvements in their financial stability (69% vs. 41%) and in their ability to provide affordable care to patients (76% vs. 52%) since the ACA took effect.
