Abstract:
Low-income adults often cycle in and out of the Medicaid program when their income or life circumstances change. As a result, they face disruptions in care that put them at risk for poor health outcomes. Two policy options--extending coverage until the end of a calendar year or for 12 months following enrollment--are effective in reducing this "churning."
