Medicaid extension policies covering all immigrants found to reduce inequities in postpartum insurance coverage
A new study at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health reveals that Medicaid extension policies, which cover all immigrants in the post-COVID era, have led to a notable reduction in postpartum uninsurance, particularly in New York City. However, the study highlights that awareness gaps may have hindered the full benefit for Hispanic immigrants. The results are published in the American Journal of Public Health.
