Note: Wisconsin included as an expansion state because, although they did not expand Medicaid to 138% FPL, they opened enrollment to adults with eligibility criteria of 100% FPL and therefore behaved more like an expansion state than a nonexpansion state. Montana included as a nonexpansion state because they did not expand Medicaid until after our study period (expanded January 1, 2016).
