“…As of 2023, 41 states, including the District of Columbia, have opted to expand Medicaid (Massachusetts and Wisconsin, which are included in these numbers, expanded Medicaid before enactment of the ACA). Constantin and Wehby (2023) examined the effects of the 2014 ACA Medicaid expansion on infant mortality by race and ethnicity over the first 6 years. They compared expansion to non-expansion states and found that Medicaid expansions were associated with an overall decline in infant mortality by 0.37 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2019 in expansion states.…”

Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet we know little about how these ecosystem disruptions affect human well-being. Ecologists have documented both the importance of bats as natural predators of insects as well as their population declines after the emergence of a wildlife disease, resulting in a potential decline in biological pest control. In this work, I study how species interactions can extend beyond an ecosystem and affect agriculture and human health. I find that farmers compensated for bat decline by increasing their insecticide use by 31.1%. The compensatory increase in insecticide use by farmers adversely affected health—human infant mortality increased by 7.9% in the counties that experienced bat die-offs. These findings provide empirical validation to previous theoretical predictions about how ecosystem disruptions can have meaningful social costs.
