Counterintuitive as it may be, the Oregon Experiment showed increased costs.

It did show an improvement is psychological outcomes, I presume due to peace of mind, because their wasn’t a corresponding increase in psychiatric medication.

I imagine this test isn't sufficient because just like with me and this other commenter, many would be going to the doctor to catch up on care they've been missing. Over a longer time period and with having this from the start of your life, I'm sure the costs would end up lower m

Did the increase in cost also come with an increase in outcomes? I don't think it's counterintuitive that people who couldn't afford healthcare see a doctor, you'll see a lot of issues; did we see a decrease in medical issues across the population?

No, there was no increase in health outcomes.
