Racial disparities in health care spending, use among Medicaid enrollees
JAMA Health Forum
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: In this analysis of nearly 2 million Medicaid enrollees in 2016, compared with white enrollees, Black enrollees generated lower spending and used fewer services, including primary care and recommended care for acute and chronic conditions, but had substantially higher emergency department use. Differences persisted among enrollees residing in the same zip codes who were treated by the same health care professionals.

Missing race, ethnicity information in healthcare.gov marketplace enrollment data
JAMA Network Open
Peer-Reviewed PublicationAbout The Study: In this study of HealthCare.gov Marketplace enrollment data from 2015 to 2021, race and ethnicity information were missing for 32% of enrollees. Further analysis suggested that enrollees with missing data were disproportionately Black and Hispanic and that the Marketplace may serve a more diverse population than indicated by self-reported data.
