The Dobbs decision was associated with declines in fills for oral contraceptives, particularly emergency contraceptives, in states that implemented the most restrictive abortion policies. ja.ma/4eGHbN2


Who loses #Medicaid coverage during the annual renewal process? Check out @LauraDague and my our new paper in @JAMAHealthForum to find out: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

I have been waiting ✨ages✨ for this paper and it is finally here! 🥳 @LauraDague @melizburns show that expanding Medicaid not only reduces recidivism but has substantial impacts on financial security and employment. Super novel and important work: nber.org/system/files/w…

Which frame motivates you more: the possibility of getting $3,600 a year or $300 a month? We @abbysussman @ericgiannella @maximilian_hell investigate this question in our recent @PNASNews article. Thank you @whartonknows for this beautiful summary! knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/why-ar…

The #ACA #navigator program has record high level of funding this year (~$100 mill). Does it increase coverage? Our new paper in @AJHE_journal finds it does- among lower-income adults & those who prefer a language other than English, among others. bit.ly/3TCfucy

ASPE estimates that about 45% of people who will lose Medicaid at the end of the PHE will still technically be eligible for the program (that's the "administrative churning" group)

A new federal study projects 15 million people will lose Medicaid coverage when the public health emergency ends, along with the requirement for continuous Medicaid eligibility. @HHS_ASPE aspe.hhs.gov/reports/unwind…
