Key Points

To outline a rigorous matching and weighting methodology for evaluating the effect of state-level Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion on adult mortality from 2015 to 2018.
Adapts a state-level statistical matching framework to compare continental US states that expanded Medicaid against those that opted out.
Outlines both standard policy analysis techniques and an innovative weighting scheme designed to isolate effects specifically on newly eligible individuals.
Protocol specification stage; empirical mortality estimates and statistical effect sizes remain pending study completion.
Methodological framework aims to improve precision over conventional analyses by directly weighting the subset of adults gaining eligibility under the expansion.
