Association of Medicaid expansion with 2-year survival and time to treatment initiation in gastrointestinal cancer patients: A National Cancer Database study.

ME was not associated with significant improvement in 2-year survival for those with GI cancer. Although TTI increased after ME for both cohorts, the 30- and 90-day odds of TTI was higher for those from ME compared with non-ME states. Our findings add to growing evidence of associations with ME for those diagnosed with GI cancer.
