The team comprises experts in health economics, biostatistics, political science, medicine, and social work, and will investigate how Medicaid work requirements are affecting coverage, access to care, patient experiences, and employment; analyze changes in mortality among non-elderly adults before and after the ACA; and the compare the effects of Medicaid versus Marketplace coverage on low-income adults. Additionally, the hub will be responsible for rapid-turnaround analyses of key issues that arise in Medicaid policy and health care disparities during the study period.
