Dear John,
ICYMI: We published an ahead-of-print article from Julia Dennett and
Gregg Gonsalves yesterday, "Early OxyContin Marketing Linked To
Long-Term Spread Of Infectious Diseases Associated With Injection Drug
Use
<[link removed]>."
CA Insurance Affordability
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), passed in March 2021, increased
premium subsidies for those purchasing insurance through the ACA
Marketplaces in addition to offering generous, zero-premium Marketplace
plans to those who receive unemployment compensation.
Vicki Fung and coauthors examine the results of a survey administered to
adults
<[link removed]>
who had purchased individual insurance plans in California in 2021
either on or off Marketplace.
They find that "72 percent of enrollees reported having no difficulty
paying premiums, and 76 percent reported that out-of-pocket expenses did
not affect their seeking of medical care."
Also, "although some affordability problems remained in 2021, choosing
subsidy-ineligible plans was associated with worse enrollee-reported
affordability among those eligible for the most generous premium and
cost-sharing subsidies."
These results suggest that ARPA expanded access to those insurance plans
perceived as affordable, despite the fact that affordability concerns
remained.
