The follow-up study on Medicaid coverage in Oregon

Here is some overview coverage from Annie Lowrey, an important issue of course with some striking results.  Here is coverage from Sarah Kliff.  Here is commentary from Justin Wolfers, and here.  After the R&R saga, I say it’s time for someone to stand up and admit “We have some egg on our face with this one.”

Addendum: Reading more carefully through the quotations from Finkelstein and Holahan in the Lowrey piece, I find it amazing, and I suppose even embarrassing, what those commentators are claiming as a positive result.  Of course it is worth comparing the program to simply giving people the cash.
