论文摘要
2014年，《患者保护和负担得起的护理法》（ACA）推出了医疗补助的扩大，州可以选择扩大需要免费健康保险的人的资格。在本文中，我们尝试使用差异差异（DD）回归来评估医疗补助扩张对国家人口健康结果的有效性，以寻求扩大医疗补助对49个州健康结果的因果影响。我们发现，在2013年至2016年的时间范围内，医疗补助的扩张似乎对选择扩展的州的健康成果没有重大影响。
In 2014 the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced the expansion of Medicaid where states can opt to expand the eligibility for those in need of free health insurance. In this paper, we attempt to assess the effectiveness of Medicaid expansion on health outcomes of state populations using Difference-in-Difference (DD) regressions to seek for causal impacts of expanding Medicaid on health outcomes in 49 states. We find that in the time frame of 2013 to 2016, Medicaid expansion seems to have had no significant impact on the health outcomes of states that have chosen to expand.
