The Affordable Care Act: Implications for underserved populations with head & neck cancer.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:This study was done to determine the direct impact implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on patients with Head and Neck Cancer (HNCA) in states that chose to expand Medicaid compared to in states that did not, as well as assess whether this impact varied among different demographic groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was queried for cases of HNCA diagnosed from 2011 to 2014. Rates of uninsured status were compared before and after Medicaid expansion and contrasted between states that did and did not expand coverage, stratified by patient and tumor characteristics, and assessed via multivariate regression. RESULTS:Overall rates of uninsured status (UR) were decreased by 63.08% in states that expanded coverage (ES) but only by 2.6% in states that did not (NS). In NS, there was an increase in proportion of black patients who were uninsured over the study period (13.7%, p = 0.077) whereas in ES, this proportion decreased by 73.3%. When stratified by primary site, patients with laryngeal cancer had the highest UR with an increase by 16.7% in NS and a decrease by 70.5% in ES. Multivariate analysis yielded predictors of uninsured status including residence in a NS, Hispanic ethnicity, and black race. CONCLUSIONS:Implementation of the ACA resulted in expanded insurance coverage for patients diagnosed with HNCA concentrated mainly in states that expanded Medicaid coverage and for patients derived from vulnerable populations, including black and Hispanic patients. In states that did not expand Medicaid, vulnerable populations were disproportionately affected.
