Oregon Medicaid (OHIE)

A randomized Medicaid expansion - both sides got evidence.

Health AccessGovernor / ExecutiveLiberty checkEvidence favors the policy

B · 17/24

1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)

Coverage improves health and financial security.

2 · The realist counter-case

Critics note weak physical-health gains.

3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats

OHIE RCT: more financial security, less depression, but no detectable BP/cholesterol/HbA1c change at 2 years; ER use +40%.

4 · Liberty check

Expands access; debates the health return.

5 · The real tradeoff

Both sides cite it honestly.
