Note. ADLs = activities of daily living; LEME = likely eligible for Medicaid expansion. All analyses were based on the total weights, except relative weights (which maintain the original total sample size of 8710) were used in analyses of continuous variables (i.e., general rating of health and difficulties with ADLs score) to preserve the standard errors.
