Study of Safety Net Provider Capacity to Care for Low-Income Uninsured Patients.

Safety-net providers serving the nation's 39 million uninsured residents are vulnerable organizations even in good economic times, yet efforts to monitor their capacity have been limited.

Primary care capacity was more often adequate to serve those who presented for care.
