PPACA and low-income people living with HIV: 2014 qualified health plan enrollment in a Medicaid nonexpansion state.
This review examined qualified heallth plan enrollment of AIDS Drug Assistance Programs clients in Virginia, a Medicaid nonexpansion state, and explored some issues that affect people living with HIV in other Medicaid nonexpansion states. The authors recommend that as healthcare delivery models shift, the effects on patients and health outcomes achieved should be monitored, particularly for chronic diseases such as HIV.

Determinants of health and pediatric primary care practices.

It also illustrate how such a roadmap can be adapted by practices depending on the degree of patient need and the availability of practice resources devoted to intervening on the social determinants of health.

Both the 'private option' and traditional Medicaid expansions improved access to care for low-income adults.
This study found that other than coverage type and trouble paying medical bills (which decreased more in Kentucky than in Arkansas), there were no significant differences between Kentucky's traditional Medicaid expansion and Arkansas's private option, which suggests that both approaches improved access among low-income adults.
