Post-Enrollment Challenges for Marketplace Consumers

Recent studies of the Iowa health insurance marketplace suggest that a high proportion of eligible consumers have multiple chronic physical and mental health conditions. A new policy brief from the University of Iowa Public Policy Center, prepared with Commonwealth Fund support, discusses the role of safety-net providers in helping such consumers understand their coverage and access care. In a related report, University of Iowa researchers share the early experiences of Iowans who gained coverage under the state's Medicaid expansion.
