The severity of job loss and persistent labor market weakness during and after the recession of 2007 09 resulted in an unprecedented expansion of UI benefit availability.
Since benefit availability was extended up to 23 months in this period, the relative increase in exit rates at long durations for UI eligibles may reflect exhaustion of extended UI benefits.
As such, the source of the spillovers to ineligible individuals is unclear: their increased job finding in response to increases in benefit availability in high unemployment states should be matched by reduced job finding for eligible individuals.
The basic specification implies no spillover effects of increasing in benefit availability for ineligible individuals: the coefficients on PBD are uniformly small and insignificant in columns (1) and (3).
Prior to the ACA's enactment, they were subject only to state regulation, which meant their benefits and availability varied enormously.

When cesarean rates go above the recommendations made by the World Health Organization in the mid-1980s, there is strong evidence that the lifesaving benefits that availability of the surgery provides begin to be outweighed by the dangers presented by the surgery itself.
The question is whether the risks of treatment are warranted given the potential benefits, the availability of other treatment options, the severity of the patient's presentation, and the risk tolerance of the individual patient.
Three items (quantification of benefits, the availability of treatment or diagnostic options, and description of harms associated with the intervention) showed significant improvements over the duration of the study (p = 0.007, p = 0.019, p = 0.0005 respectively).
Patient brochures, handouts, and waiting room posters outlining the benefits and availability of PCC consultations were also viewed as beneficial.
