Today's newsletter features an article by Aditi Vasan and colleagues
analyzing a recent increase in children's Medicaid participation.

 

Children's Medicaid Enrollment Expansion

As featured in this month's issue, Aditi Vasan and her colleagues at
the University of Pennsylvania examine children's Medicaid
participation around the time of the enactment of the Families First
Coronavirus Response Act
<[link removed]>.


The act, passed in 2020, "incentivized continuous coverage for Medicaid
recipients by providing an enhanced federal match for state Medicaid
spending that was contingent on providing continuous Medicaid coverage,
without eligibility redetermination to all beneficiaries throughout the
COVID-19 public health emergency."

Vasan and coauthors found that after adjustments, new continuous
coverage states had a "4.62 percent relative increase in children's
Medicaid participation compared to states with previous eligibility
policies."

For more insight into the paper's methods and findings, visit
HealthAffairs.org for a recording of the June Journal Club with Aditi
Vasan and Health Affairs editor Ellen Bayer, available with a Health
Affairs Insider membership.

Elevating Voices

During June, we're highlighting influential voices and organizations who
have made an impact on LGBTQ+ health equity and policy.

In 2016, the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center opened its doors in
Allentown, Pennsylvania
<[link removed]>.
Serving the Greater Lehigh Valley, the center provides free programs and
services to strengthen the LGBTQ+ community.

The center's biennial Pennsylvania LGBTQ Health Needs Assessment
evaluates health disparities and barriers to care. Results are shared
with leaders, providers, and policymakers to inform policies that help
LGBTQ+ Pennsylvanians.

According to Ashley Coleman, Executive Director, they have "also
consulted with many other states and localities to help them develop
their own surveys to collect data on LGBTQ+ health, including Iowa,
Utah, Tennessee, North Carolina, and West Virginia."
