The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, November 12, 2021
Dear John,
Two papers in the November issue dive into issues related to the
Affordable Care Act.
ACA Marketplaces & Medicaid Expansion
The economic shock of the COVID-19 pandemic led to job losses and people
moving into the Affordable Care Act Marketplaces. In one paper in the
November issue, John Hsu and coauthors analyzed the relationship between
state policies and the number and risk profile of these new enrollees
.
They found both larger increases in Marketplace enrollment in states
that did not expand Medicaid and more higher-cost enrollees joining
Marketplaces in states with narrower enrollment criteria.
"The state-based Marketplace states experienced favorable selection
into the Marketplaces," the authors concluded.
In another paper, Casey Balio and coauthors estimated the effects of
Medicaid expansions
on administrative spending incurred by states since the initial
expansions in January 2014.
They found "modest evidence suggesting that states with large
expansions saw reductions in administrative costs after expansion
relative to nonexpansion states, whereas states with small expansions
incurred increases in administrative costs after expansion."Â Â
Today on Health Affairs Blog, George Maliha and coauthors argue that
health care systems should reinvest in nonemergency medical
transportation
programs to serve as an analogue to telehealth.
Katie Keith discusses the November 9 announcement of a new 60-day
comment period
to solicit input on Georgia's waiver under Section 1332 of the
Affordable Care Act.
Listen to our latest podcasts .
On today's episode of This Week, Jessica Bylander and Jeff Byers
review some of the state public health ballot amendments
from
the recent off-year elections.
