What the paper says

Findings show that experiencing the Medicare Cliff is associated with a range of negative outcomes, including increases in overall health care expenditures relative to those who maintain Medicaid eligibility or only lose it temporarily. Addressing the Medicare Cliff issue would therefore lead to improved health outcomes and reduced health care costs. Our analysis provides a strong basis for policymakers to address this coverage discontinuity through specific policies related to Medicaid financial eligibility rules and access to Medicare Savings Plans to financially protect older adults.
