Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of the Medicaid expansion authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (i.e., Obamacare or ACA) on employment among people with disabilities. It is expected that Medicaid expansion will positively affect the employment of people with disabilities, for reasons discussed in the paper. However, the findings of existing studies are mixed, with Hall, Shartzer, Kurth, and Thomas (2018) find a positive effect, while Sevak and Hyde (2019), using a different and more credible data source, find no effect. I will be replicating these studies using yet another data source that has some advantages over the data sources used in the prior studies.
