The first four columns of Table 3 summarize the evidence. The table clearly shows thatthe decisions made by some states to offer a state-funded safety net to their immigrantpopulations did not greatly alter the trend of Medicaid participation for native households.For example, the probability that natives are enrolled in Medicaid declined by about 2–3percentage points during the period, regardless of whether the state was generous to itsimmigrant population. In contrast, the state decisions had a greater impact on Medicaidenrollment rates among immigrants, both for naturalized citizens and non-citizens. Forexample, the fraction of citizens enrolled in Medicaid declined by 1.5 percentage pointsin the less-generous states, but rose in the more generous states. Similarly, the fractionof non-citizens enrolled in Medicaid declined by 7.0 percentage points (from 18.1 to11.1%) in the less generous states, but by 4.9 percentage points in the more generousstates (from 21.0 to 16.1%). It is clear that non-citizen households in the less generousstates experienced a much larger relative decline in Medicaid participation than nativehouseholds
