Medicaid Didn't Stop Gun Suicides | Raleigh News
Description
New research from UNC Chapel Hill reveals Medicaid expansion didn’t significantly reduce firearm suicides among most men — in fact, rates rose across both expanded and non-expanded states. Shockingly, Black men saw the steepest increases, even surpassing white men in some areas. While Medicaid helped a small subset — white men aged 35-49 — the study underscores that healthcare access alone isn’t enough. The real solution lies in combining insurance with gun safety measures and tackling deeper societal and cultural barriers that prevent men from seeking help.
