Employment Effects of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansions
研究了平价医疗法案的医疗补助扩展是否减少了无子女成年人的“就业锁定”，发现扩展虽使医疗补助覆盖率提高3.0个百分点，但对就业无显著影响。
We examine whether the recent expansions in Medicaid from the Affordable Care Act reduced “employment lock” among childless adults who were previously ineligible for public coverage. We compare employment in states that chose to expand Medicaid versus those that chose not to expand, before and after implementation. We find that although the expansion increased Medicaid coverage by 3.0 percentage points among childless adults, there was no significant impact on employment.
