Medicaid patients less likely to be transferred in paper @DrStephMueller #jhmchat https://t.co/RiA6vjTXV0

@vineet_chopra Well in this study Medicaid lower rates of transfer - do think some pts harder to get accepted than others #JHMChat

@vineet_chopra T1 - This article seemed to imply the opposite - Medicaid patients less likely to transfer. Seems opposite to my observations. #JHMChat
Tony Breu @tony_breu
