Notes: The table reports difference-in-differences estimates of equation (4) based on the 2004 cohort (columns 1–3) and the 1999 cohort (columns 4–6). The dependent variable is a mortality indicator equal to 0 if a beneficiary was alive during the entire calendar year and is equal to 1 if the beneficiary died in a given year. Coefficients, standard errors (in parentheses), and the dependent variable mean have been scaled by 100. Controls are as follows: A includes baseline zip code and year fixed effects; B also includes fixed effects for each age (one-year bins), race, and sex combination. C additionally controls for age-race-sex effects by year. Standard errors are clustered by beneficiary baseline zip code.
