Challenges Facing The Poorest Medicaid Beneficiaries

Medicaid expansion has brought health coverage to many low-income, childless adults who previously didn’t qualify for public insurance programs.

The issue brief can be obtained at http://www.commonwealthfund.org/~/media/files/publications/issue-brief/2018/may/shippee_complex_needs_mn_medicaid_expansion_ib.pdf.
