Do you have research that explores how the intersections of policy, socioeconomics, and institutions drive differences in health outcomes? As this year's #ASHEcon2026 Chair of Health Equity, I'd love to read your abstract!

Finally, Medicaid expansion plays a key role here. Gains in SSC insurance status are mostly concentrated in states that have expanded Medicaid, which @samueljamesmann

@GilbGonzales
Kitt Carpenter, and I have written on about elsewhere: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... 5/6

In addition to accruing mostly to white SSCs and married couples (see above citations), these gains are realized mostly at the top of the income distribution, and are *much* more concentrated at the top than with DSCs (peep that IQR!). 4/6

SSCs are more likely to get their insurance through their jobs compared to DSCs than through any other provider (and at higher rates). Pre-Obergefell, this would have been through domestic partner benefits. I've written about this elsewhere: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1... 3/6

Since Obergefell (really, since Windsor), SSCs have met parity (and in some years exceeded) their counterparts in health insurance coverage, but these gains (as others like Andrew Bolibol, Gilbert Gonzalez, and Lynn Blewett have found) are not equally distributed. 2/6

Really fun time today at the first (hopefully annual) Texas Health Economics Network (TEXHEN) Workshop.
