      abstract = {This paper uses census block groups in the contiguous 48  U.S. states and approximates the average speed traveled on  various types of roadways to identify the “quickest”  hospital for each block group, the one that can be reached  in the least time along the road network. Results are  summarized using these estimated travel times and both  straight line and road network distances for rural and  urban areas for comparison. The U.S. Bureau of Labor  Statistics’ SAHIE estimates of health insurance coverage at  the County level are then used to construct estimates of  insurance coverage at the block group level. These are used  to examine whether there are differences in geographic  access to hospitals for those with and without insurance  coverage.},
