Dear John,

Memorial Day. We will return to your inbox next Tuesday. Have a great
weekend.
Health Coverage Changes During COVID-19
In 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act provided states
increased federal funding if they maintained their Medicaid enrollment.
All states chose to participate.
In their paper published in this month's issue, Paul Jacobs and Asako
Moriya use data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey to investigate
how the COVID-19 pandemic altered patterns of health insurance coverage
<[link removed]>
in the US.
The authors find that employer-sponsored insurance coverage remained
stable from 2019-2020.
They also report that Medicaid coverage for children and nonelderly
adults increased in stability during the first year of the pandemic,
reporting "Fewer people who had Medicaid in 2019 became uninsured in
2020 (4.3 percent) than in 2018-19 (7.8 percent)."
These findings build on the evidence that Medicaid expansion can help
offset losses in coverage during economic downturns.
