Abstract: This dissertation combines three studies related to the welcome mat effect (WME) of the early Medicaid expansions under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, when CA, CT, DC, MN, NJ, WA expanded their Medicaid program to cover non-disabled adults. The WME is a spillover effect that indicates an increase in Medicaid enrollment of historically eligible groups after Medicaid expansions. In other words, individuals who had been eligible for Medicaid but did not enroll before expansions would be more likely to enroll in the program later because of increased program publicity, streamlined application process, or reduced welfare stigma.
