Please link the paper, they should have it listed and you just missed the citation.

You might want to call the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services directly and ask them about why the link is broken.

That's why it's a comment, not an answer. By god, if I knew a specific source for some data and the source was offline, the very first place I would ask would be the provider of the data, not an unrelated online Q&A site.

I read a paper titled 'State generic substitution laws can lower drug outlays under
medicaid'. It uses quarterly state level medicaid drug utilization data. However, I could only find yearly data at the state level. Has anyone has experience in this data set.
