Did Expanding Medicaid Affect Welfare Participation
In a widely cited 1995 paper, Aaron Yelowitz concluded that Medicaid eligibility expansions for children were associated with increased labor force participation and reduced welfare participation among single mothers. The authors of the present study, using data from the 1988-96 Current Population Surveys, re-examine the evidence presented by Yelowitz. They find that Yelowitz's results resulted from two factors: he imposed a restriction on the pa…
The Measurement of Medicaid Coverage in the Sipp: Evidence From a Comparison of Matched Records
This article studies the accuracy of reported Medicaid coverage in the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) using administrative records from the State of California. Overall, we estimate that the SIPP underestimates Medicaid coverage in the California population by about 10%. The probability of correctly reporting coverage for those actually covered by Medicaid is around 85%, and is even higher for low-income children. The probabili…
Using Discontinuous Eligibility Rules to Identify the Effects of the Federal Medicaid Expansions on Low-Income Children
Despite intensive scrutiny, the effects of Medicaid expansions on the health insurance status of low-income children remain controversial. We reexamine the effects of the two largest federally mandated expansions which offered Medicaid coverage to low-income children in specific age ranges and birth cohorts. We use a regression discontinuity approach, comparing Medicaid enrollment, private insurance coverage, and overall insurance coverage on eit…
The Effect of Expanding Medicaid Eligibility on the Distribution of Children's Health Insurance Coverage
Federal legislation passed in the late 1980s greatly expanded the Medicaid program to include children in families with incomes at and above the poverty threshold, regardless of family structure. Using March Current Population Survey data, the author evaluates how the expansions affected private and public insurance coverage levels across the income distribution. Estimates of the extent of take-up of public coverage and substitution of private co…
