TABLE 4.

Difference in differences of the marginal probability of having any health insurance and having any public health insurance pre‐ and post‐Affordable Care Act among US citizen Latinos in low‐income households, ACS/PRCS 2011–2019 (n = 193,867)

	New York versus Florida			Puerto Rico versus Florida			New York versus Puerto Rico
	Difference pre‐ACA [SE]	Difference post‐ACA [SE]	DiD [SE]	Difference pre‐ACA [SE]	Difference post‐ACA [SE]	DiD [SE]	Difference pre‐ACA [SE]	Difference post‐ACA [SE]	DiD [SE]
Any health insurance	27.2 *** [0.8]	19.5 *** [1.9]	−7.7 ** [2.0]	36.8 *** [0.9]	19.4 *** [1.4]	−17.4 *** [1.6]	−9.6 *** [0.5]	0.1 [1.5]	9.7 *** [1.6]
Any public health insurance	28.4 *** [1.2]	31.4 *** [1.5]	2.9 [1.9]	26.9 *** [1.5]	24.6 *** [0.7]	−2.3 [1.6]	1.6 [1.0]	6.8 *** [1.5]	5.2 * [1.8]

Note: Values are reported as percent. SEs were reported for each data point (reported within brackets). New York (Medicaid expansion) was always used as the treatment group. Florida (Medicaid non‐expansion) was always used as the control group. Puerto Rico (Medicaid block grant) was the treatment group when compared with Florida and the control group when compared with New York since it “expanded” its Medicaid eligibility but was constrained to the local poverty level, resulting in a substantially lower impact compared with state Medicaid expansion.

Abbreviations: ACA, Affordable Care Act; DiD, difference in differences.
