Health Care Access and Receipt of Clinical Diabetes Preventive Care for Working-Age Adults With Diabetes in States With and Without Medicaid Expansion: Results from the 2013 and 2015 BRFSS.
This study aimed to assess whether the recent Medicaid expansion, as a natural experiment, was associated with better access to care and, as a consequence, better receipt of clinical diabetes care services. ⋯ Medicaid expansion did improve health care access but no significant improvement was found for receipt of clinical diabetes care for people with diabetes. Resources provided through Medicaid are vital for diabetes control and management.
