Description
Tami Mark and Benjamin Huber count drug overdose deaths among people covered by Medicaid in the United States. Their 2024 study links Medicaid records with the national death index for the years 2016 through 2020. No past count had tracked overdose deaths for this group on its own. The pair set the group's rates beside those of the whole country.
In 2020, the overdose death rate for Medicaid members was about twice the national rate. Members made up a quarter of the population but near half of all overdose deaths. Rates topped national rates in each age and sex group past age 15. Deaths in the group also rose by more than half across the five years.
