Changes in Medicaid Enrollment Among Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer After Medicaid Expansion: A Report From the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study
To our knowledge, we provide the first evidence of increased Medicaid enrollment and longer coverage duration among adult survivors of childhood cancer after Medicaid expansion. Greater increases were seen among survivors from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds, young adult survivors, and those with lower socioeconomic status, providing a mechanism to reduce disparities and ensure long-term medical care for childhood cancer survivors.
