Medicaid Expansion and Palliative Care

In their newly published July article, Xuesong Han and coauthors find
that Medicaid expansion was associated with an increase in receipt of
palliative care for those patients newly diagnosed with advanced-stage
cancers
<[link removed]>.

Palliative care offers those with serious illness services that optimize
quality of life and reduce suffering. Among these services include pain
management, nutrition, and counseling.

Palliative care has specifically been recommended for those patients
with advanced cancer by the American Society for Clinical Oncology.

Using data from more than 1,200 hospitals across the US from 2010-19,
Han and her coauthors find that "state-level Medicaid expansion under
the ACA was associated with greater increases in receipt of
guideline-recommended palliative care among patients undergoing initial
treatment for newly diagnosed stage IV cancers than the concurrent
increases seen in nonexpansion states."

This association was "particularly strong" for those cancer types with
"significant symptom burden" like pancreatic and lung cancer.
