Medicaid expansion linked to improved long-term survival in cancer patients
In 2014, a provision under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) went into effect that allowed states to opt into expanding Medicaid eligibility to adults with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty guidelines. Existing studies have linked Medicaid expansion to increased insurance coverage, access to cancer screening services, and improved two-year survival rates, but its impact on longer-term survival among individuals diagnosed with cancer remains unknown, according to Elizabeth Schafer, MPH, associate scientist at the American Cancer Society.
