Income Dynamics and Characteristics of Health Reform Expansion Populations (2010)

Principal Investigator: Lara Shore-Sheppard, PhD, MA, Williams College

This project will analyze the income dynamics and characteristics of low and moderate income adults impacted by PPACA.  Such an analysis will enable the coordination of enrollment between Medicaid/CHIP and insurance exchange plans and will facilitate the development of procedures for calculating premium subsidies.  Additionally, learning about the population of Americans who will be eligible for free or subsidized coverage will facilitate efforts to target outreach and to accurately forecast service utilization.
