Nearly Half Of U.S. Births Already Covered By Medicaid
By Matthew Mientka | Sep 8, 2013 12:14 AM EDT
Nearly Half U.S. Births Covered By Medicaid
(Creative Commons) As politicians continue to debate Medicaid expansion,
researchers say nearly half of American babies are born in situations
covered by the federal health program.
A new analysis of federal health data shows that Medicaid paid for nearly
half of all births in the United States in 2010, a rate that continues to
increase.
The federal health care program covered 48 percent of the 3.8 million births
that year, jumping from 40 percent in 2008, say researchers from the George
Washington University School of Public Health. In only two years, the
government entitlement covered 90,000 more women giving birth, as states
expand the federal-state health coverage plan.
"As states expand coverage, low-income women of childbearing age will be
able to obtain more continuous coverage before and between pregnancies,"
lead investigator Anne Markus, an associate professor of health policy at
the university, said in a statement. Markus and her colleagues said the
study would help other researchers assess changes to America’s health care
system brought by the Affordable Care Act of 2010, also known as Obamacare.
"Now, for the first time, researchers will have a comprehensive baseline
that will help them determine how increased access to services might change
pregnancies and ultimately birth outcomes," Markus said.
Naturally, Medicaid coverage varied greatly state by state, ranging from a
low of one-quarter of births in Hawaii to nearly 70 percent in Louisiana.
The generally poorer southern states made greater use of Medicaid in
covering births, compared to northeastern and northwestern states. In
contrast to Louisiana and other southern states, Medicaid in Massachusetts
and New Hampshire covered 30 percent and 39 percent of births, respectively.
In Arkansas and Mississippi, more than 60 percent of births were paid for
by the federal program.

The researchers said the study would also help analysts to determine the
efficacy of the program in reducing childbirth complications and improving
the health of women and babies.
"This study gives us a window into the vital role Medicaid plays in maternal
and child health," study co-author Cynthia Pellegrini, senior vice
president for public policy and government affairs at the March of Dimes,
said. "With these data in hand, we'll be able to accurately monitor the
impact of Medicaid expansion and other factors on the births covered by
state Medicaid programs."
The study provides a useful tool to help researchers chart future progress
in lowering the rate of premature births in the U.S., which currently sits
at a half-million births per year.
