Comparing the Affordable Care Act's Financial Impact on Safety-Net Hospitals in States That Expanded Medicaid and Those That Did Not
Link
Description
Examines how Medicaid expansion affected the financial
health of safety net hospitals, and compares hospitals in
expansion states with hospitals in non-expansion states.
Addresses changes in operating margins, Medicaid inpatient
days, Medicaid revenues and costs, and uncompensated care
costs. Findings are based on data from Medicare's fiscal
year 2012-2015 hospital cost reports.
