Description
Michelle Bronsard and co-authors track whether America's Medicaid expansion actually delivered the free preventive care it promised. From 2014, adults who gained coverage could get key screening and prevention services at no cost. The team mined Medicaid claims from 2011 to 2019, focusing on a dozen services rated highly by the national preventive task force.
Use climbed from twenty-two percent in 2014 to twenty-six percent in 2019, and about two in five enrollees got at least one service across the period. Screening for HIV, cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, and hepatitis C led the list. Uptake differed by race and ethnicity, a gap the authors flag for policy attention. Their answers come from the bills the program itself paid, not from what people recall.
