Book Description
The Health Insurance Marketplace (“the Marketplace”) plays a critical role in achieving one of the Affordable Care Act's goals of reducing the number of uninsured Americans by providing affordable, high-quality health insurance for individual and small group consumers. This report provides data for enrollment-related activity in the individual market Marketplace during roughly the first two months of the 2015 Open Enrollment period for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.Section I of the report focuses on the 37 states that are using the HealthCare.gov platform for 2015 (also known as “HealthCare.gov states”) for the first two months of the 2015 Open Enrollment and covers the period 11-15-2014 to 1-16-2015. The 37 HealthCare.gov states include 35 states that used the HealthCare.gov platform in both 2014 and 2015 and Oregon and Nevada, which are new to the HealthCare.gov platform in 2015. These 37 states account for 75 percent of total Marketplace plan selections in this report.The data available for these states include Marketplace plan selections for new consumers and consumers reenrolling in Marketplace coverage. The reenrollee data include both consumers who actively reenrolled in Marketplace coverage (i.e., people who returned to the Marketplace to select a new plan or actively renew their existing plan), and consumers who have been automatically reenrolled into coverage (i.e., people who retained coverage without returning to the Marketplace and selecting a plan, including some who may have subsequently returned to the Marketplace to actively select a plan).

Book Description
The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide benefits based on disability: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. This report analyzes health care utilizations as they relate to impairment severity and SSA's definition of disability. Health Care Utilization as a Proxy in Disability Determination identifies types of utilizations that might be good proxies for "listing-level" severity; that is, what represents an impairment, or combination of impairments, that are severe enough to prevent a person from doing any gainful activity, regardless of age, education, or work experience.
Moral Hazard in Health Insurance

Book Description
Addressing the challenge of covering heath care expenses—while minimizing economic risks. Moral hazard—the tendency to change behavior when the cost of that behavior will be borne by others—is a particularly tricky question when considering health care. Kenneth J. Arrow’s seminal 1963 paper on this topic (included in this volume) was one of the first to explore the implication of moral hazard for health care, and Amy Finkelstein—recognized as one of the world’s foremost experts on the topic—here examines this issue in the context of contemporary American health care policy. Drawing on research from both the original RAND Health Insurance Experiment and her own research, including a 2008 Health Insurance Experiment in Oregon, Finkelstein presents compelling evidence that health insurance does indeed affect medical spending and encourages policy solutions that acknowledge and account for this. The volume also features commentaries and insights from other renowned economists, including an introduction by Joseph P. Newhouse that provides context for the discussion, a commentary from Jonathan Gruber that considers provider-side moral hazard, and reflections from Joseph E. Stiglitz and Kenneth J. Arrow. “Reads like a fireside chat among a group of distinguished, articulate health economists.” —Choice
