Recent health care use and Medicaid entry of Medicare beneficiaries.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Medicaid entry and recent health care use among Medicare beneficiaries. Although recent health care use predicted greater likelihood of Medicaid entry, half of new Medicaid participants used no hospital or nursing home care during the study period.

Medicaid's lasting impressions: population health and insurance at birth.
This article examines lasting mortality improvements associated with availability of Medicaid at time and place of birth. Being born after Medicaid was associated with between 2.03 and 3.64 fewer deaths per 100,000 person-years in childhood and between 1.35 and 3.86 fewer deaths per 100,000 person-years in the thirties. The association between Medicaid at birth and mortality was the strongest in the oldest age group (36-40) in this study.

Estimating demand for care after a Medicaid expansion: lessons from Oregon.
In order to estimate how the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansions will affect demand for services, the authors measured ambulatory care utilization among adult patients who gained insurance during Oregon's 2008 Medicaid expansion. They found that, in comparisons of the pre- and postcoverage periods, the mean annual encounters among persons who gained insurance increased 22% to 35%, but declined in the comparison groups.
