New research indicates that the expansion of Medicaid benefits has been linked to a reduction in child neglect
Of those yet to expand, several are looking into it and campaigning for legislation or considering ballot initiatives to expand.
This research could be yet another reason remaining non-expansion states would want to expand, supporters of the ACA and Medicaid expansion say. "Reports like this show that not only has Medicaid expansion made Americans healthier, it has also benefited millions of children," said Brad Woodhouse, executive director of the group."Remember that when Republicans work to sabotage health care, they're attacking our most vulnerable and putting young lives at risk."
A companion commentary in JAMA Network Open described the prevention of “child maltreatment as an unexpected benefit of social policies,” noting that 3.5 million children, or 1 in 22, experienced an investigation from a child welfare agency following a report of suspected child maltreatment. “As health care professionals, we must encourage parents of our patients to enroll in the social programs that support child well-being,”of the Center for Safe and Healthy Families at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, wrote in a JAMA Network Open commentary. “As researchers, we must critically evaluate how new social policies influence rates of child maltreatment and report these findings as meaningful indicators of the impact of these policies, whether good or bad.
