Do state laws reduce uptake of Medicaid/CHIP by U.S. citizen children in immigrant families
This research shows that the unintended consequence of restrictive state legislation aimed at immigrants is the reduction in access to Medicaid and CHIP by low-income U.S. citizen children living in immigrant families. Reduced access to health insurance can increase unmet medical needs for an already vulnerable group
National Hospitalization Trends and the Role of Preventable Hospitalizations among Centenarians in the United States (2000–2009)
Increases in life expectancy mean that an unprecedented number of individuals are reaching centenarian status, often with complex health concerns. We analyzed nationally representative hospital admissions data (200-2009) from the National Inpatient Study (NIS) for 52,618 centenarians (aged 100-115 years, mean age 101.4). We predicted length of stay (LOS) via negative binomial models and total inflation adjusted costs via fixed effects regression …

We also explore whether the presenc…
