Which Low-Income Group did the ACA Leave Behind?

Add to calendar

Nationally, Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) increased the proportion of low-income adults who had health insurance by 7.1 percentage points between 2013 and 2015, according to a Health Services Research article by Center Graduate Student Researchers Dahai Yue and Petra Rasmussen. However, the study reports that not all populations benefited equally from the law, particularly Latinos. Join Yue and Rasmussen at our May health policy seminar for a look at how the ACA widened the gap in health care for Latinos.
