Medicaid expansion in social context: examining relationships between Medicaid enrollment and county-level food insecurity.
This study examined the relationship between states’ expansion of Medicaid and county-level food insecurity. They examined county Medicaid enrollment in early expansion states and found that increased Medicaid enrollment was associated with lower food insecurity during two expansion periods (2009-2012; 2012-2014). In California the most pronounced associations were evident in counties with the largest Medicaid expansions.
