This thesis investigates the impact of public health insurance access on savings, using a distri-
butional regression approach. By analyzing Medicaid eligibility and coverage data from the Survey
of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and Current Population Survey (CPS) databases,
the study examines how changes in Medicaid coverage influence individual savings across different
wealth levels. The research highlights the varying effects of Medicaid coverage on savings, empha-
sizing significant differences between lower and higher saving groups. The findings suggest that
Medicaid coverage positively impacts savings for the poorest individuals while negatively affecting
middle-income groups. These results provide insights for policymakers regarding the implications
of Medicaid expansion on inequality among the net worth distribution.
