Replying to @toad_spotted
13.This shouldn’t be a surprise.In Sam Quinones’s Dreamland,increase in SSI applicants 1998-2008largely due to drug seekers wanting Medicaid


The ACA boosted overdose rates by around 4-6 per 100,000 in Medicaid Expansion states: significant enough, but in the wrong direction.

And even tho the majority of overdoses may no longer be from prescription drugs themselves, the majority of addicts still start with pills.



Medicaid expansion states had ~a 25% higher OD rate in 2015 compared to Holdout states, controlling for baseline 2010 characteristics.



Across age cohorts, states with full ACA implementation had a jump upward in overdoses, while holdout states stabilized.
