Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion, access to health care, and financial behavior of the United States adults.
Article in Journal of public health policy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The access to care benefits of Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions are important for 45-64-year-old adults who are living below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, a particularly vulnerable group in the United States (US). Gaining coverage from Medicaid expansions should improve access to healthcare and affect social determinants of health, including financial behavior. We analyzed data from 2009 to 2018 from the National Financial Capability Survey (NFCS) and utilize a difference-in-differences model to compare outcomes changes in states with and without expansion before and after the ACA Medicaid expansions. Overall, Medicaid expansion was associated with increased healthcare access for 45-64-year-olds, potentially resulting in better healthcare experience. Results indicate effects of the Medicaid expansion on the financial behavior of 45-64-year-olds, with evidence of credit card bills being paid in full, higher banking activities, and better financial preparedness. These findings have important implications for financial regulators and healthcare policymakers.
