英文文献摘要:
This paper investigates the impact of Medicaid eligibility expansion set forth in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The extension of Medicaid eligibility to 133% of the Federal Poverty level nationwide will impact labor force participation and welfare participation decisions of single mothers with dependent children. Following from existing literature, this paper uses a simple probit model to analyze the probability changes of labor force and welfare participation as well as identify which characteristics contribute most to these decisions. Mixed results suggest that the eligibility expansion will reduce welfare participation decisions for single white mother by 1.14%.
本文调查了2010年《病人保护和可负担医疗法案》中规定的医疗补助资格扩张的影响。联邦医疗补助的适用范围扩大到全国联邦贫困水平的133%,这将影响到有需要抚养孩子的单身母亲的劳动力参与率和福利参与决策。根据已有文献,本文使用简单的probit模型分析劳动力和福利参与的概率变化,并找出哪些特征对这些决策的贡献最大。混杂的结果表明,资格扩大将减少单身白人母亲1.14%的福利参与决定。
