Note: Table presents model of propensity score, estimating propensity to have Medicaid in the 2016 Current Population Survey's Annual Social and Economic Supplement. Regression run as a linear probability model (using ordinary least squares) on dependent binary indicator of Medicaid coverage. Std.Err is the standard error. Education of children represents highest level of parents' education.
