Significant improvements in the 2-year overall survival rates among specific sociodemographic groups of newly diagnosed cancer patients following Medicaid expansion. DD (for Ji et al. [57], Barnes et al. [56], and Han et al. [48]) and their 95% confidence intervals are presented for the following: young adults (age 18–39 years); racial and ethnic minoritized groups (including Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and other races and ethnicities); patients with middle income as determined by zip code (defined as 139–400% of federal poverty level); pediatric patients (age 0–14 years); patients with lowest quartile county income; patients at <5% below the poverty level; and Non-Hispanic Black patients. DD analyses were used to compare changes in survival in Medicaid expansion states relative to non-expansion states. DD: difference-in-differences; ppt: percentage point.
