Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research, "We find that the dependent coverage provision was associated with similar gains across racial/ethnic groups, but the 2014 expansion was associated with larger gains in coverage among Hispanics and Blacks relative to Whites. After the 2014 expansion, coverage increased by 11.0 and 10.1 percentage points among Hispanics and Blacks, respectively, compared with a 5.6 percentage point increase among Whites. The percentage with a usual source of care and a recent doctor's visit also increased more for Blacks relative to Whites."
According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Increases in coverage were larger in Medicaid expansion compared with nonexpansion states for most racial/ethnic groups."
