The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Dear John,

The Affordable Care Act Marketplaces can be challenging to navigate.
California found a way to curb plan selection errors.

Reducing Choice Errors In ACA Plan Selection

Signing up for health insurance through the ACA Marketplaces can be
confusing. Some families end up selecting objectively "inferior"
plans, compared to other options available to them.

Andrew Feher and Isaac Menashe study the use of postal and email
messages to reach people who made choice errors

in Covered California (that state's insurance Marketplace) and
conclude that those messages reduce plan selection errors by 3.9
percentage points.

For more on the ACA, Katie Keith covers how the American Rescue Plan Act
expands the ACA

in May's addition to our "Eye On Health Reform" series.

Today on Health Affairs Blog: Brian Hughes and coauthors share lessons
for treating "Long COVID,"

while Dina Fradkin and colleagues explore policies to improve behavioral
health integration
.

Elevating Voices: Asian American and Pacific Islander American Heritage
Month: Amitabh Chandra and colleagues wrote in 2017 on the challenges to
reducing discrimination and health inequity

through existing civil laws.
