Figure 2. :

The Effect of Social Security Checks on Total Scripts

Note: These figures plot estimates of equation (1): event-study estimates of the logarithm of total scripts filled for each event-time day relative to check receipt for the no-copay group and the subsidized-copay group. The vertical lines across each marker plot 95-percent confidence intervals based on standard errors that are clustered at the level of birthday group. Panel (a) restricts the sample to first scripts, panel (b) restricts the sample to acute drugs, and panel (c) restricts the sample to Social Security checks that arrive 35 days after the previous check.
