Title: Medicaid expansion linked to reduced mortality among dialysis patients
Post by: rcjordan on October 30, 2018, 04:39:40 PM

“Medicaid may have resulted in better adherence to treatment sessions, normally three times a week, because it eliminated co-payments of about $150 per week. On the other hand, because out-of-pocket medical payments were reduced, Medicaid may have also improved patients’ finances, thereby improving health. More research may be essential to unravel this.”
