Contributing to Health Reform: Analysis and Technical Assistance Grant, Year 9

Sherry Glied’s team will continue to provide programming and data support for Fund staff and grantee research related to health care coverage and access trends, using the Current Population Survey, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, and other publicly available datasets. The team, which will be flexible in responding to policy developments, will produce up to three papers that address the following topics: disparities in access to new treatments for diabetes; how the growing use of high insurance deductibles is exposing people with chronic health conditions to higher out-of-pocket spending; and access to care for people with low income in the Medicaid coverage gap in the 14 states that have not expanded Medicaid eligibility.
