Age- and race-stratified models were constructed to examine between- and within-population variation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A higher MGI is associated with greater enrollment probability for adults aged 50 to 64, whereas greater RR is associated with lower probability across all groups. Both MGI and RR are more strongly associated with enrollment among adults aged 50 to 64 than those aged 65 or above, for racial minorities than for non-Hispanic Whites, and for lower income individuals relative to higher income ones. At every income level, racially minoritized adults have higher enrollment probability than non-Hispanic whites<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While Medicaid enrollment is inherently income-based, enrollment is conditioned by policy and political context differentially across social groups.
