The Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion increased preconception and postpartum Medicaid coverage and led to significant declines in uninsurance and insurance churn, according to a study conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health.

The findings are published in the January 2022 issue of the journal Health Affairs.
