Medical Liability Insurance Prices Rise Following Medicaid Expansion

Feb. 27, 2023

In an earlier paper, Martin Grace and Jingshu Luo found that doctors, hospitals and insurers in states expanding Medicaid after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) paid higher medical liability costs. What does this mean for medical liability insurance prices?

Grace and Luo’s follow-up study finds that medical liability insurance prices increased in states where Medicaid was expanded. This serves as further evidence that Medicaid expansion is contributing to medical malpractice.
