Notes: n=1,134. Coefficient estimate for insurance type represents percentage point difference in the outcome among people with Medicaid coverage compared to people with private coverage. Data are weighted using NSFG complex survey weights. Sample includes respondents age 15-44 trying to become pregnant at the time of the survey with private insurance or Medicaid coverage, 2002-2019. Adjusted model includes age, poverty level, and survey wave fixed effects.
