6. A central goal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) the number of uninsured by providing a continuum of affordable coverage options through Medicaid and the Health Insurance Marketplaces. The ACA expands Medicaid coverage for most low-income adults to 138% of the federal poverty level. Following the June 2012 Supreme Court decision, states face a decision about whether to adopt the Medicaid expansion. On or before January 1, 2019, 31 states and the District of Columbia expanded Medicaid eligibility. To analyze the effect of the Medicaid expansion on private health insurance coverage, using a state-level data drawn from the 2010-18 American Community Surveys, the following difference-in-differences model was estimated controlling for all year and state effects, as well as covariates for poor, child and senior, by using the de-meaned approach. Variable name Description expansion priv_hi senior child poor st year 1 for the expansion states after Medicaid expansion and 0 otherwise Percentage of the state population covered by private health insurance Percentage of the state population age 65 and over Percentage of the state population under age 18 Percentage of the state population under poverty State id code Year xtreg priv_hi expansion poor child senior i.year, fe i(st) priv_hi | Coef.

Also interpret the magnitude of the three covariates if they are statistically significant.
