Improved Health and Insurance Status Among Cigarette Smokers After Medicaid Expansion, 2011-2016.
CONCLUSIONS: Greater improvements among low-income smokers in Medicaid expansion states compared with nonexpansion states could influence future smoking behaviors and warrant longer-term monitoring. Additionally, health and insurance gains among low-income smokers in expansion states suggest the potential for Medicaid expansion to improve health among smokers compared with nonsmokers.
