description Despite being a vulnerable and costly population, little is known about disabled Medicaid beneficiaries. Using data from a 1999-2000 survey, we describe the population and their health care experiences in terms of access, use, and satisfaction with care.

Beneficiaries' assessments of their health care were more clear: The bulk of the sample rated one or more area of care as being fair or poor.
