Americans who avoided care due to cost reasons by race and Medicaid expansion status
In 2021, 23 percent of Hispanic adults residing in Medicaid non-expansion states reported that they had avoided care due to cost reasons in the past year, in comparison to 16.4 percent avoiding care in Medicaid expansion states. In general, fewer adults living in Medicaid expansion states reported avoiding care due to costs, and even racial disparity was lower in comparison to non-expansion states.
