Changes in health care workers’ economic outcomes following Medicaid expansion

About The Study: In this study, only health care workers in higher-earning occupations (e.g., registered nurses, physicians, and managers) experienced increases in annual income after state-level Medicaid expansion, which has been shown to improve health care organization finances. These findings suggest that improvements in health care sector finances may increase economic inequality among health care workers, with implications for worker health and well-being.

About The Study: The findings of this study of 173,000 adult patients who died with cancer suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with amplified socioeconomic disparities in death at home and specialized palliative care delivery at the end of life. Future research should focus on the mechanisms of these disparities and on developing interventions to ensure equitable and consistent specialized palliative care access.
