Background: The Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid eligibility for low-income adults who are not Medicare eligible while leaving in place states' more restrictive dual eligibility criteria. When Medicaid expansion enrollees turn 65 and transition to Medicare as their primary insurer, they may lose Medicaid and face higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs, yet there is little understanding of how older adults navigate this change in insurance programs.
Objective: To investigate the experiences of Medicaid expansion enrollees who transitioned to Medicare coverage at age 65.
