A central goal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is to significantly reduce
the number of uninsured by providing a continuum of affordable coverage options
through Medicaid and the Health Insurance Marketplaces. The ACA expands Medicaid
coverage for most low-income adults to 138% of the federal poverty level. Following the
June 2012 Supreme Court decision, states face a decision about whether to adopt the
Medicaid expansion. On or before January 1, 2019, 31 states and the District of Columbia
expanded Medicaid eligibility. To analyze the effect of the Medicaid expansion on
private health insurance coverage, using a state-level data drawn from the 2010-18
American Community Surveys, the following difference-in-differences model was
estimated controlling for all year and state effects, as well as covariates for poor, child
and senior, by using the de-meaned approach.
