    http://www.nber.org/reporter/winter04/kaestner.html
    
    Extractions: Jump to the Navigation Bar NBER Reporter: Research Summary Winter 2004 Robert Kaestner In 1996, Congress passed and the President signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), or what has become known as welfare reform. To many, welfare reform has been an unqualified success; welfare rolls decreased markedly and single mothers began working in unprecedented numbers. Moreover, poverty rates among single mothers have decreased sharply. Welfare reform may have had some unintended consequences, though, particularly the loss of health insurance. However, contrary to some earlier studies , my research finds that welfare reform was responsible for only a small increase, less than 4 percent, in the proportion of less-educated, unmarried mothers and their children without health insurance. And, consistent with these small effects on insurance, I find that changes in the welfare caseload attributable to welfare reform were associated with few adverse health effects among less-educated, unmarried mothers. Indeed, changes in the welfare caseload were associated with some significant improvements in healthy lifestyles among this group. Decreases in the welfare caseload between January 1996 and June 2000 were associated with a 30 percent decrease in the probability of binge drinking in the past month, and a 27 percent increase in the probability of engaging in regular and sustained physical activity.

    Extractions: By Michael F. Cannon I n the 40 years since it was created to provide medical care to the needy, Medicaid has metastasized beyond this narrow purpose. According to the National Association of State Budget Officers, in 2004 Medicaid surpassed elementary and secondary education as the largest item in state budgets, consuming an estimated $309 billion of tax revenue. This would be less of a problem but for the significant portion of its budget that provides coverage to those who could obtain it elsewhere. The problem is not merely (or even principally) fiscal. Like other components of the old welfare system, Medicaid harms many purports to help by lulling them into dependency. And it constantly draws more Americans toward dependency through an ever-increasing tax burden and higher health-care costs. For the sake of the truly needy and everyone else, Congress and the states should pare this behemoth down to a flexible program focused solely on those who cannot help themselves. The Left's predictable response presents only a minor obstacle to reform. Still intent on expanding the program to cover all Americans and thus deepening the crisis, Medicaid's apologists have nothing to offer but echoes of the dire and famously inaccurate predictions the Left made about welfare reform ten years ago. The real obstacles to reform are Republicans who are willing to accept the status quo.

    Extractions: By Michael F. Cannon EDITOR'S NOTE: This is part II of two. The first can be read here U nfortunately, the body politic’s grasp of Medicaid lags about 20 years behind its understanding of welfare. The Left launches a fusillade at any mention of such heresies as applying the lessons of welfare reform to Medicaid. The New Republic ’s Jonathan Cohn calls such an approach “heartless” and says that “rolling back Medicaid means the poor and disabled will have to confront medical bills alone. The bankruptcies will pile up, emergency rooms will get even more crowded, and, yes, some people will die.” One wonders whether Cohn and others slept through the last ten years. During the welfare-reform debate, the Left predicted that scaling back federal cash assistance to the poor would be similarly disastrous. The most hysterical predictions were that one million children would be thrown into poverty and that the poor would be starving in the streets. lower today than at any point prior to welfare reform, going back to 1979. Many who opposed the 1996 law have since admitted that it accomplished a large measure of good. And evidence stemming from part of that law suggests that with regard to Medicaid, the Left is again misreading the tea leaves.

In one sense, it refers to all government programs providing benefits to impoverished Americans. The major programs are Medicaid, Food Stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and HUD housing programs. When the public and politicians speak of welfare, they are generally referring to what was Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) and is now Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) . This cash assistance program is primarily provided to single parents. The TANF program has always been a relatively small part of the overall welfare scheme. (Click to see chart) To qualify for these programs, individuals must apply and meet income and resource limitations. The HUD and Food Stamp programs are federally funded; the others involve both federal and state funds. What is Medicaid and why does it absorb the most welfare dollars?

    Extractions: Subscribe now >> Reforming the welfare system is a hot topic in the United States, particularly in building self-sufficiency among welfare recipients. Encouraging them to work instead of receiving welfare is often a goal of welfare reform. However, welfare reform could inadvertently limit working poor families' support or eliminate safety-net programs by making them more difficult to access. "Successful welfare reform is integrally intertwined with the maintenance of effective safety-net programs for working families and children," says Earnestine Willis, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. She is the lead author of an article in the December 2000 electronic edition of the journal Pediatrics discussing the effect of welfare reform on children in Wisconsin, the first state to conduct a welfare reform demonstration project. Wisconsin's efforts are seen as a leading model by many welfare reformers. Other authors of the study are Marsha Malloy, RN, MBA, Research Nurse in Pediatrics, and Robert M. Kliegman, MD, Chairman and Professor of Pediatrics, both of the Medical College.

During the debate over the 1996 federal welfare law, a bipartisan consensus emerged that low-income families with children should not lose health care coverage as a result of changes in welfare policies. Congress therefore included a provision in the welfare law that "delinked" Medicaid and welfare eligibility, creating the opportunity for families to qualify for Medicaid regardless of their welfare status. Nevertheless, a growing body of evidence suggests that welfare policy changes in recent years have caused a loss of Medicaid among eligible low-income families with children. In this analysis, the Center has compiled the data available from more than 25 state "leaver" studies (which track how former welfare recipients are faring) conducted in the late 1990s on the health insurance status of parents and children after leaving welfare. The analysis shows that in most states with relevant studies, a significant proportion of both parents and children lose Medicaid after their families leave welfare. They also show that families leaving welfare have very limited access to private coverage. As a result, many of the children and even more of the parents in families leaving welfare become uninsured.
