Abstract

Objective: The Medicaid expansion component of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) allowed low-income Americans to gain insurance coverage. Little is known about how this policy specifically affects gynecologic cancer outcomes. We sought to determine the impact of state Medicaid expansion status on women with cervical cancer by examining the rates of insurance coverage at time of diagnosis, stage at presentation, as well as delays in and receipt of curative intent treatment.
