Gregory Peters, MD and Alexander Ordoobadi, MD were featured in
HealthDay about their manuscript published in
JAMA Network Open. Drs. Peters, Ordoobadi, and colleagues found that, after the Affordable Care Act went into effect, there were fewer ambulance trips for patients with asthma emergencies in New York City. This research suggests that giving access to affordable health insurance to people with asthma can reduce the frequency and severity of asthma exacerbations. PMID:
