Monitoring and Analyzing Implementation of the Affordable Care Act's Insurance Market Reforms, Year 4

Since 2011, the Georgetown University team led by Kevin Lucia has used its unique monitoring system to track state implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s provisions that relate to private insurance markets. Through a series of reports, blog posts, and interactive state maps, the team has informed policymakers and the media, nationally and locally, about issues as they emerge. Under this grant, the researchers will continue these monitoring activities as states adjust their approaches, such as operating their own marketplaces. The team also will expand its work to study those states that have outperformed their peers in enrollment, premium affordability, and health plan quality, drawing in part on data collected in a separate project led by Jon Gabel.
