  • Notes: This table displays IV results from two separate regressions that estimate the effects of the Medicaid eligibility expansions for black and white cohorts. NHIS and ACS regressions include individual characteristics, state of birth, year of birth, survey year dummies, state of birth by birth year characteristics, and state of birth trends in birth year. NIS regressions include include state by year and birth year fixed effects, state by birth year control variables, and state trends in birth year. Significance levels:

  • * p < 0.1,

  • ** p < 0.05,

  • *** p < 0.01.
