Enrollment in the LIS is automatic with Medicaid, but our findings suggest that a focus on increasing take-up of the LIS among those ineligible for Medicaid or only eligible for partial benefits will go far to alleviate cost burdens for near-poor older adults with diabetes.

New paper in Health Affairs examining effects of a Medicaid coverage cliff among near-poor Medicare beneficiaries. Medicaid supplements Medicare for older and disabled adults with incomes below poverty. What about those with income just above poverty? https://t.co/vVqFUZbU9v 1/6

@eric_t_roberts Thanks Eric! Looking forward to tomorrow's discussion!

[Eric T. Roberts @eric_t_roberts]
