The Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) is a powerful tool for analyzing enrollees' access to medical care (Adler, 1994). Based on a stratified random sample, we can derive information about the health care use, expenditure, and financing of Medicare's 36 million enrollees. We can also learn about those enrollees' health status, living arrangements, and access to and satisfaction with care. In the charts that follow, we have presented some findings on enrollee information needs in 1994, number of beneficiaries with information needs met, and sources of information used by beneficiaries. These charts attempt to answer the following questions: What types of needs do our beneficiaries have? How well do our beneficiaries understand Medicare?
医疗保险当前受益人调查（MCBS）是分析参保人获得医疗服务情况的有力工具（阿德勒，1994年）。基于分层随机抽样，我们可以获取有关医疗保险3600万参保人的医疗服务使用、支出及融资方面的信息。我们还能了解这些参保人的健康状况、生活安排以及获得医疗服务的情况和对医疗服务的满意度。在接下来的图表中，我们展示了1994年参保人信息需求、信息需求得到满足的受益人数以及受益人使用的信息来源等方面的一些调查结果。这些图表试图回答以下问题：我们的受益人有哪些类型的需求？我们的受益人对医疗保险的了解程度如何？
