Exhibit 2. Percent of low-income adults with selected substance use disorders who were uninsured in 2008–15, in states that did and did not expand eligibility for Medicaid.

Exhibit 2

SOURCE Authors’ analysis of data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. NOTES Low-income adults are those with incomes of no more than 138 percent of the federal poverty level. Selected disorders are defined in the notes to exhibit 1. The results were adjusted for respondents’ age, sex, race/ethnicity, state, and education level. The decrease in uninsurance rates in expansion states (defined in the notes to exhibit 1) from 2012–13 to 2014–15 was significant (p < 0:001) and was also significantly larger (p < 0:05) than the decrease in nonexpansion states in the same period (estimated difference-in-differences: −10.4; 95% confidence interval: −17.34, −4.04).
