Presented to Congressional Committee Staff
Print:
In May 2025, LDI Senior Fellows Eric T. Roberts, PhD and Aaron Schwartz, MD, PhD, and LDI Executive Director Rachel M. Werner, MD, PhD wrote a research memo on the loss of subsidized drug coverage and mortality following Medicaid disenrollment, based off of a recent study, which found that dually eligible individuals who lost Medicaid, and consequently the Medicare Part-D Low-Income Subsidy, experienced higher mortality.
The research memo delves further into the study findings, considers how the results can inform projections about the effects of proposed Medicaid policies for low-income Medicare beneficiaries, and compares the findings to other recent studies.
