Changing Trends in Employer Sponsored Insurance After the Affordable Care Actsoder145
The document analyzes trends in employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) in the United States and Minnesota after the Affordable Care Act. It finds that while the percentage of U.S. workers offered and eligible for ESI dropped slightly from 2013-2014, Minnesota saw no significant changes. Both saw minimal increases in workers taking up ESI. Individual premiums significantly increased every year in the U.S. and 2013-2014 in Minnesota. Enrollment in high-deductible plans rose each year in the U.S. and 2013-2014 in Minnesota. The concerns over reduced ESI due to the ACA appear overstated while rising individual costs remain a policy issue.
The document summarizes a webinar presented by experts from the U.S. Census Bureau on the Small Area Health Insurance Estimates (SAHIE). SAHIE provides county-level estimates of health insurance coverage across various demographic groups. The webinar discussed the 2014 SAHIE release, which incorporated more up-to-date Medicaid data and showed substantial changes in insurance rates from 2013 to 2014. The webinar also reviewed the data sources and methodology used to produce the SAHIE estimates.

The document summarizes research comparing estimates of Medicaid enrollment in 2013 and 2014 from the American Community Survey (ACS) and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administrative data. The research finds that states with the largest increases in Medicaid enrollment according to CMS also tended to have the largest differences between ACS and CMS estimates, with ACS generally reporting lower enrollment. This suggests the ACS may overstate uninsurance rates where Medicaid enrollment increased substantially. However, misreported coverage likely represents shifts between coverage types rather than uninsurance. Future research should analyze additional years of data and link administrative and survey sources to better understand reporting errors.
The changing demographics of the uninsured in MN and the nationsoder145
The document analyzes changes in the demographics of the uninsured in Minnesota and nationally between 2013 and 2014 following coverage expansions under the Affordable Care Act. It finds that uninsured rates declined significantly in both Minnesota and all 50 states. While the characteristics of the uninsured remained largely the same, the uninsured population is now more likely to be Hispanic, non-citizens, and Spanish speakers in both Minnesota and nationally. The uninsured are also less likely to be children in Minnesota and very low income or Asian nationally. Continued outreach efforts are needed to enroll groups with historically high uninsurance rates.
The document analyzes changes in health insurance coverage and access to care across US states from 2013 to 2015. It finds that during this period:
- The percentage of the population under 65 without health insurance declined significantly in most states. The number of states with uninsured rates below 10% rose from 4 to 23.
- Most states saw improvements in various access indicators such as fewer adults going without care due to costs and fewer at-risk adults not getting routine doctor visits. However, some states saw little or no change.
- Coverage gains were largest for low-income adults and minority groups, though disparities across states persisted for these groups in 2015.

Utah's ACA enrollment exceeded 175,000 people in 2016. Nationally, 20 million Americans have gained health insurance due to the ACA and Medicaid expansion. Utah's uninsured rate has decreased from over 16% in 2013 to under 11% currently, though the decline has slowed. Enrollment was strong outside of Salt Lake County, with 13 of the top 20 enrollment ZIP codes located elsewhere. Over half of existing ACA consumers switched health plans during the 2016 open enrollment period. Premium subsidies make insurance more affordable for many Utah families.

This document summarizes research on the undercounting of Medicaid recipients in the American Community Survey (ACS). It finds that the ACS undercounts Medicaid enrollment by 22.9% compared to administrative records, with higher rates of undercounting for older age groups and higher income levels. This Medicaid undercount leads to an overestimate of the uninsured population in the ACS of around 1.2 percentage points or 3.2 million people. However, other factors may offset this bias. The undercount in the ACS appears consistent with levels found in other surveys.

This document analyzes health care access and affordability among low-income adults who are potentially eligible for expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It finds that uninsured low-income adults currently experience greater barriers to health care access, utilization, and affordability compared to those with Medicaid coverage. The analysis predicts that expanding Medicaid will significantly improve access and affordability for the low-income uninsured population through reductions in lacking a usual source of care, delays in care due to cost, and more. However, some barriers may still remain for the expanded Medicaid population.

- Medicaid plays a central role in health insurance coverage and supports the health care system and safety net.
- States are seeking waivers to implement work requirements, impose premiums and cost sharing, but research shows these policies can negatively impact coverage and health outcomes for low-income populations.
- Ongoing debates around Medicaid include the federal government's new direction regarding waivers, the future of the ACA Medicaid expansion, CHIP reauthorization, and possible deficit reduction proposals around Medicaid entitlement reform and federal spending caps.
Economic Justice in Maryland and Howard CountyKali Schumitz
The document discusses economic justice issues in Maryland and Howard County. It provides data showing that Maryland has high income inequality, with more millionaires per capita than any other state, while some parts of Howard County have poverty rates approaching 20%. It also discusses threats from federal policies, such as potential cuts to programs that support health care, education, human services and more. The document argues for policies like increasing the minimum wage, expanding paid sick leave, and reforming the tax system and business regulations to promote a more equitable economy.
Who is Impacted by the Coverage Gap in States that Have Not Adopted the Medic...KFF
- An estimated 3.7 million nonelderly adults fall into the coverage gap where they earn too much to qualify for Medicaid in states that did not expand Medicaid under the ACA, but too little to qualify for subsidies to purchase insurance through the Marketplaces.
- Over half of the adults in the coverage gap are people of color, especially Black adults who are more likely to fall into the coverage gap than other racial/ethnic groups.
- If all states adopted the Medicaid expansion, the coverage gap would be eliminated and 64% of the nonelderly uninsured would be eligible for financial assistance to obtain health insurance.
This document provides an overview of measuring and monitoring churn, or movement between insurance coverage types, at the state level. It discusses why states are interested in churn, defines what churn is, and how churn has changed with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The document then outlines a framework for estimating churn, including identifying the purpose of the estimate, defining the type of churn, selecting an appropriate model, and choosing a data source. Examples of how Arkansas and New York are addressing churn through their Medicaid programs are also provided.
The document discusses strategies for outreach and enrollment in health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. It notes that enrollment begins on October 1, 2013 and outlines a two-fold strategy by Enroll America to maximize enrollment. Key points include:
- Enroll America aims to enroll at least 15 million uninsured Americans by promoting best practices and a national enrollment campaign.
- There will be a single, streamlined application process across Medicaid, CHIP and private plans regardless of whether a state expands Medicaid.
- Most of the uninsured are located in 13 states and are more likely to enroll with in-person assistance. Safety net providers are well-positioned to help with outreach due to existing relationships.

Trends and Disparities in Children's Health Insurance: New Data and the Impli...soder145
This document summarizes key findings from an analysis of trends in children's health insurance coverage between 2016 and 2017. Some key points:
- The uninsured rate among children in the U.S. increased from 4.7% in 2016 to 5% in 2017, reversing over a decade of decline. This represented nearly 270,000 additional uninsured children.
- The increase was driven by a decline in public coverage, particularly Medicaid. Uninsurance rose across most demographic groups.
- There was considerable variation between states, from a low of 1.4% uninsured in Vermont to a high of 10.7% in Texas.
- States with low uninsurance typically had high rates of employer-sponsored insurance or

This document summarizes research on modeling state-based reinsurance programs to stabilize individual health insurance markets. Key findings include:
- An estimated $60 billion is spent annually in the individual market, with 2.5% of enrollees accounting for 48.8% of expenditures.
- State reinsurance programs with varying parameters could reduce insurer costs by $6-14 billion nationally per year.
- Estimated reinsurance costs for four states range from $300,000 to $1.8 billion depending on the attachment point and coinsurance rate.
- Federal transitional reinsurance and proposed legislation allocated $10 billion annually, consistent with these estimates.

Exploring the New State-Level Opioid Data On SHADAC's State Health Comparesoder145
Between 2000 and 2016, the annual number of drug overdose deaths in the United States more than tripled, from 17,500 to 63,500, and most of these deaths involved opioids. Despite widespread increases in overdose death rates from natural and semi-synthetic opioids, synthetic opioids, and heroin, individual states’ death rates varied widely. For example, in 2016, Nebraska’s rate of 1.2 deaths per 100,000 people was the lowest in the U.S. for natural and semi-synthetic opioids, while West Virginia’s rate (the highest) was more than 15 times larger, at 18.5 deaths. These deaths are the most glaring indication of the growing crisis of opioid abuse and addiction that has been spreading unevenly throughout the country over the past two decades.
On this SHADAC webinar, Research Fellow Colin Planalp will examine the United States opioid epidemic at the state level, analyzing trends in overdose deaths from heroin and other opioids, such as prescription painkillers. Using data available through SHADAC’s State Health Compare, he will look at which states have the highest rates of opioid-related deaths and which have experienced the largest increases in death rates.
Mr. Planalp will be joined by SHADAC Research Fellow Robert Hest, who will discuss the data on opioid-related overdose deaths from the U.S. Centers from Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that are available on SHADAC’s State Health Compare. He will also discuss State Health Compare data from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on sales of common prescription opioid painkillers. Mr. Hest will show users how to access and use the data for state-level analyses.
This document summarizes research on the intersection of structural risk factors and insurance-based discrimination on healthcare access inequities. The study analyzed data on over 3,800 non-elderly adults in Minnesota to examine how experiences of insurance-based discrimination vary across gender, race, income and insurance status, both independently and combined. It also assessed how the synergistic effects of structural risk factors and reported discrimination influence access to a usual source of care and confidence in getting needed healthcare services. The results show that structural factors like race, income and insurance status combine to produce greater reported discrimination, which then interacts with those factors to further reduce healthcare access. The implications are that reducing inequities requires attention to the convergence of these structural barriers
This study analyzed characteristics associated with accurate reports of health insurance coverage in census surveys. It found that reporting of public insurance was most accurate among low-income, less educated individuals who likely needed care. Reporting varied by specific public program, with family characteristics impacting Medicaid accuracy and respondent characteristics impacting MinnesotaCare accuracy. Private insurance reporting in the ACS was more accurate among advantaged groups, while the CPS saw greater accuracy among older respondents with long-term coverage. The results provide insight into survey design, editing, and using survey data for policy analysis by identifying who reports coverage most reliably.
- The document presents preliminary results from the Minnesota Long-Term Services and Supports Projection Model (MN-LPM), which projects LTSS utilization and costs for Minnesota's Medicaid elderly population through 2030.
- In 2015, over 54,000 Minnesotans received LTSS through Medicaid, costing $991 million total. The model projects these numbers will double by 2030, with LTSS costs reaching $1.7 billion as HCBS use grows significantly faster than nursing home use.
- The model uses Minnesota-specific data on the characteristics of elderly residents and current LTSS spending patterns to generate projections. It is intended to help evaluate potential policy changes that could impact future LTSS needs and costs in
Modeling Financial Eligibility for Medicaid Payment of LTSS
1) Medicaid long-term services and expenditures (LTSS) are a large and growing part of state budgets. States may restrict LTSS eligibility rules to control costs.
2) The researchers modeled LTSS eligibility rules to understand their impact and potential consequences of restricting access.
3) The model found that restricting income eligibility rules had a larger impact on reducing the number of eligible individuals than restricting asset rules. This is because income rules are more broadly applied and generous under current policies.
Poster, advancements in care coordination mn simsoder145
The document summarizes findings from an evaluation of Minnesota's State Innovation Model (SIM) Initiative. It finds that Minnesota's SIM investments increased organizations' capacity for coordinated care in several ways:
1) It strengthened relationships and knowledge sharing between organizations.
2) It improved some care coordination processes like assessing social needs and accessing data.
3) It expanded access to health information exchange capabilities needed to coordinate care across settings.
- Structured interviews were conducted with 33 current and former state agency and health plan staff across 4 states to understand challenges implementing Section 1115 Medicaid expansion waiver programs.
- Key challenges included the significant administrative resources and coordination required across entities, educating enrollees, and reconciling complex program rules across systems.
- While waiver programs allowed for innovative policy testing, the administrative complexity was substantial and ongoing. Implementation involved major efforts to develop new IT systems and operational protocols within tight timelines.
1. The document analyzes the potential impact and costs of state-based reinsurance programs using data from 2012-2015.
2. It estimates that reinsurance subsidies could range from $6.4 billion to $16 billion annually depending on the attachment point and coinsurance rate.
3. Reinsurance costs are estimated to range from close to $300,000 in Illinois to $2 billion in California under sample programs with an 80/20 coinsurance split.
Comparing Health Insurance Measurement Error (CHIME) in the ACS & CPSsoder145
This document summarizes a study that compared survey responses about health insurance from the American Community Survey (ACS) and Current Population Survey (CPS) to actual administrative insurance records to assess accuracy. The study found that both surveys produced reasonably accurate aggregated estimates but that some types of coverage, like direct purchase plans, were less accurately reported. Specifically:
- Both surveys had high sensitivity in detecting those with any insurance but the ACS performed better for direct purchase plans.
- The predictive power of reported coverage types varied, with direct purchase again less accurately predicted than employer-sponsored coverage.
- Prevalence estimates based on surveys were generally within a few percentage points of administrative records, though CPS estimates were less accurate for

This document summarizes a study examining factors associated with accurate reporting of health insurance coverage type. The study used survey data matched to enrollment records from a health plan. It found:
1) Reporting accuracy was highest for those with employer-sponsored insurance and lowest for those with direct purchase or Medicaid coverage.
2) Among those with direct purchase insurance, reporting accuracy was higher for those who were white, non-Hispanic, fully employed, and from higher income households.
3) For Medicaid enrollees, reporting accuracy was higher for those who were unemployed, from lower income and education households.
Medicaid vs. Marketplace Coverage for Near-Poor Adults: Impact on Out-of-Pock...soder145
1) The document analyzes the impact of state Medicaid expansion decisions on out-of-pocket health expenses and insurance coverage for low-income adults making 100-138% of the federal poverty level.
2) It finds that Medicaid expansion was associated with lower total out-of-pocket spending (a reduction of $353), lower premium spending (a reduction of $118), and lower medical spending (a reduction of $235) compared to non-expansion states.
3) Medicaid expansion also increased Medicaid coverage by 11.1 percentage points and decreased the uninsured rate by 4.5 percentage points for this low-income group relative to non-expansion states.
The Impact of Medicaid Expansion on Employer Provision of Health Insurancesoder145
- The study examines the impact of Medicaid expansion under the ACA on employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI) offers, out-of-pocket premiums, and eligibility using data from 2010-2015.
- The results show Medicaid expansion decreased worker eligibility for ESI offers by 4 percentage points but had no effect on ESI offers or out-of-pocket premiums. There was also no differential effect for low-wage establishments.
- The authors note the short-term effects may differ from long-term effects, and ongoing uncertainty could impact employer behavior and outcomes over time as more states expand Medicaid.
Physician Participation in Medi-Cal: Is Supply Meeting Demand? soder145
This document summarizes a webinar presentation on physician participation in California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal. The presentation was given by Janet Coffman from UCSF and Alan McKay from the Central California Alliance for Health.
Key findings from Coffman's presentation include: California physicians are less likely to accept new Medi-Cal patients than patients with private insurance or Medicare; acceptance rates vary by specialty, practice type, and region; and the most common reasons physicians limit Medi-Cal patients are delays in payment and administrative hassles.
McKay discussed the Alliance's efforts to expand Medi-Cal provider capacity after expansion, including grant programs for recruitment, equipment, practice coaching,
The document summarizes key information from a webinar about 2015 health insurance coverage estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) and Current Population Survey (CPS). It provides an overview of the surveys' methodologies, measures of health insurance coverage, changes in insurance rates from 2013 to 2015, and resources for accessing public data from the ACS and CPS. New products for analyzing health insurance coverage from both surveys were also announced.
Contrasting Measures of Health Insurance Literacy and their Relationship to H...soder145
This document summarizes research contrasting two measures of health insurance literacy and their relationship to health care access. The researchers analyzed data from a 2015 Minnesota health survey. They found that:
1) Understanding insurance terminology was associated with higher confidence in getting needed care and lower odds of forgone care, while proactive insurance use correlated with lower odds of forgone care.
2) Correlates of health insurance literacy, such as education, varied between the two measures.
3) Both measures captured distinct concepts and translated to improved access, though proactive use only predicted forgone care and not confidence in care.
4) The researchers concluded both measures have value but more work is needed to better operationalize

17. Looking Toward OEP 3
• Most states and the federal government are projecting
modest growth
• Use data driven outreach to target uninsured and leverage
dwindling outreach and enrollment resources
• Laser focused enrollment strategies (e.g. programs for jail
involved individuals)
• Target off-Marketplace non-group enrollees
• Find ways to support the critical role of in-person assister
programs
• Focus on current enrollees
• Programs to improve health literacy
• Seamless renewal process
• Provide valued added services through the marketplace (e.g. plan
selection tools)
