The links between Medicaid and welfare exits are examined using longitudinal Medicaid program data. Few people who leave welfare get any sort of ongoing or transitional Medicaid protection. Moreover, it appears that many who are eligible for transitional benefits are not getting them. Finally, people with high expected medical costs appear to be less likely to leave welfare. The loss of Medicaid associated with leaving welfare probably does have an important deterrent effect on welfare exists.
利用医疗补助计划纵向数据研究了医疗补助与福利退出之间的联系。很少有离开福利体系的人能获得任何形式的持续或过渡性医疗补助保护。此外，似乎许多符合过渡性福利资格的人并未获得此类福利。最后，预期医疗成本高的人似乎更不可能离开福利体系。与离开福利体系相关的医疗补助损失可能确实对福利退出产生了重要的威慑作用。
