Medicaid Expansion & COVID-19
In 2019, Virginia expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act,
extending coverage to more than 500,000 low-income adults in the state
by the end of 2021.
In their ahead-of-print article
published today, Hannah Shadowen and coauthors analyze results from the
Medicaid Expansion New Member Survey, for which the follow-up survey
period overlapped with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their findings offer insights on the impact of public health insurance
in a time of economic and public health crisis.
They find that Medicaid enrollment was significantly associated with
decreases in reporting nonmedical financial needs and decreases in
concern about medical costs and medical debts.
Shadowen and coauthors report 5.0 and 7.7 percentage-point decreases in
the likelihood of respondents being concerned about paying for housing
costs and food, respectively, after twelve months of enrollment compared
with the year before enrollment.
Further, the likelihood of being concerned about the cost of normal
health care and the cost of catastrophic health care decreased by 33.7
percentage points and 23.8 percentage points, respectively.
