A new report in Health Affairs examines whether expansions of Medicaid can prevent evictions from occurring. The researchers examined data from a database of eviction records in fourteen states and used a difference-in-differences research design to compare rates of eviction before and after California’s early Medicaid expansion. Early Medicaid expansion in California was associated with a reduction in the number of evictions, with 24.5 fewer evictions per month in each county from a pre-expansion average of 224.7. These results imply that for every thousand new Medicaid enrollees in California, Medicaid expansion was associated with roughly 22 fewer evictions per year.
