Sohn and Timmermans used the volunteering supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure volunteerism. Analyzed changes in formal volunteering based on two CPS questions: “Since September 1st of last year, have you done any volunteering activities through or for an organization?” and, “Sometimes people don’t think of activities they do infrequently or activities they do for children’s schools or youth organizations as volunteer activities. Since September 1st of last year, have you done any of these types of volunteer activities?” Also separately analyzed changes in informal helping based on one CPS question: “Since September 1st of last year, have you worked with people in your neighborhood to fix or improve something?”

In 2016, 7% of nonelderly adults in Medicaid reported being in “poor” health compared to 2% of the US total nonelderly adult population, and 17% of nonelderly adults in Medicaid reported being in “fair” health compared to 9% of the US total nonelderly adult population (both differences between the two populations were statistically significant).
A significantly greater percentage of Medicaid nonelderly adults compared to US total nonelderly adults also reported: that they often or sometimes cannot afford to eat balanced meals (26% vs. 11%), that they often or sometimes worry food will run out before they have money to buy more (34% vs. 15%), and that they are very or moderately worried about rent, mortgage, or other housing costs (42% vs. 24%).
