1 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 1/31 MEDICAID INSURANCE IN OLD AGE Mariacristina De Nardi Eric French John Bailey Jones
2 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 2/31 Our previous findings Retirees with higher permanent income live longer and hold lots of assets even when very old. Out-of-pocket medical expenses that rise with permanent income and age go a long way towards explaining these saving patterns. Means-tested health insurance (such as Medicaid) has a large impact on the savings of the retirees across the income distribution.
3 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 3/31 Public Health Insurance for the elderly Medicare: Virtually everyone age 65+ is eligible No income or asset tests Pays for most medical medical services, but not all (e.g., nursing homes) Medicaid: Means-tested health insurance which covers nursing home costs if poor or impoverished Medicaid is currently paying for 70% of all nights spend in nursing homes. Nursing homes are very expensive.
4 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 4/31 This paper: questions Medicaid was designed to insure the poorest retirees against medical expenses. We ask: Do people with higher income end up on Medicaid? How big are Medicaid payments for high-income versus low-income people? What is the degree of Medicaid redistribution? How much do people across the income distribution value Medicaid insurance? Is Medicaid of about the right size?
5 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 5/31 AHEAD cohort of HRS Household heads aged 70 or older in 1993/4 Consider only the retired singles Follow-up interviews in 1995/6, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 Asset, medical expense data begins in 1996 (1994 data faulty), uses 2,673 individuals Use full, unbalanced panel Permanent income = annuity income from Social Security + defined benefit pension plans
6 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 6/31 Net Worth Net Worth by age, birth cohort and permanent income quintile.
7 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 7/31 Share receiving Medicaid Fraction receiving Medicaid by age, birth cohort and permanent income quintile.
8 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 8/31 Forces working against redistribution Heterogeneity life expectancy High income live longer than low income medical expenses High income spend more on medical care than low income Two pathways to qualify for Medicaid (lifelong poor or impoverished by medical expenses)
9 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 9/31 Literature on Medicaid/Medicare insurance Lots of work on health effects of Medicaid/Medicare. Less on Medicaid/Medicare s effect on savings/medical expenses. We focus on this.
10 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 10/31 Key model features Single people aged 70 and older Consumption of medical and non-medical goods, and savings decision Medical expenditure increases one s well being but does not affect health Consistent with many papers. Much of medical spending, especially late in life, is on long-term care. Spending improves quality of life, not length of life.
11 Nursing home quality varies a lot Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 11/31
12 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 12/31 Model Single people aged 70 and older Flow utility from medical and non-medical consumption u(c t,m t,µ t ) = 1 1 ν c1 ν t +µ t 1 1 ω m1 ω t, where: t = age; c t = non-medical consumption; m t = consumption of medical goods and services, includes nursing home, drugs, doctor visits; items paid out of pocket as well as by insurers µ t = stochastic medical needs shifter.
13 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 13/31 Medical needs shocks log(µ t ( )) = f(age, health status, ψ t ), ψ t = ζ t +ξ t, ξ t N(0,σξ 2 ), ζ t = ρ m ζ t 1 +ǫ t, ǫ t N(0,σǫ). 2 Health takes on 3 states: good, bad, nursing home.
14 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 14/31 Health and lifespan Women, rich, healthy, live longer than men, poor and sick. Health transition probabilities and mortality rates are functions of: gender permanent income age past health
15 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 15/31 Two key features of the insurance system Private and Medicare (plus VA) health insurance pay a share of total medical expenditurem t (1 q(h t )) q(nursing home t ) =.90 (from MCBS) q(good or bad t ) =.29 (from MCBS) Social insurance programs (Medicaid and SSI) Medicaid utility floors
16 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 16/31 Medicaid as providing utility floor Medicaid transfers vary with medical needs. But we (the econometricians) do not fully observe medical needs directly. So we need a model that satisfies the criteria: Medicaid transfers vary with medical needs. Model matches distribution of Medicaid payments.
17 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 17/31 Medicaid as providing utility floor Calculating transfers for the medically needy... Government computes minimum expenditure x mt = c t +q(h t )m t to achieve ν c1 ν t +µ t 1 ω m1 ω t = u, Government makes transferb mt given expenditurex mt b mt = max { 0, x mt resources t }, Given exogenous transfer, the person makes optimal decisions.
18 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 18/31 Modeling Medicaid tests and transfers Categorically needy: assets and income test Medically needy: total resources low compared to medical expenses Two eligibility criteria
19 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 19/31 V t (a t,g,h t,i,ζ t,ξ t ) = Recursive formulation max c t,m t,a t+1,i M { 1 1 ν c1 ν t + µ(h t,ζ t,ξ t,t) 1 ω m 1 ω t ) + βs g,h,i,t E t (V t+1 (a t+1,g,h t+1,i,ζ t+1,ξ t+1 ) + β(1 s g,h,i,t )θ (e(a t+1)+k) 1 ν (1 ν) }, s.t. a t+1 = a t +y n (ra t +y t )+b t I M c t m t q(h t ) 0, b t = b(t,a t,g,h t,i,ζ t,ξ t,u) a t+1 A d, if I M > 0.
20 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 20/31 Two-step estimation strategy First step: estimate parameters of income, health, mortality, and co-pay profiles. Second step: taking as given the estimated first-step parameters, choose preference parameters, utility floor, and medical needs shocks to match Median assets Medicaid recipiency rate Median and 90th percentile of out-of-pocket medical expenditures First and second autocorrelations of medical expenditures by PI quintile, cohort and age, using the method of simulated moments (MSM).

25 Medicaid Insurance in Old Age. p. 25/31 Second step estimates flow utility = bequest utility Estimated parameters: ν c1 ν t +µ t 1 ω m1 ω t = θ (e(a t+1)+k) 1 ν (1 ν) β =.995, ν = 3.0, ω = 3.4 model-predicted price elasticity of medical expenditure = Categorically needy income limit = $6,420. Utility floor (consumption equivalent) = $5,260. Bequest motives parameters imply MPC out of terminal wealth of 17% and bequest threshold of $3,600.
