Health Insurance Enrollment Decisions
The weak response by the uninsured to initiatives encouraging voluntary enrollment in health insurance has raised concerns regarding the extent to which the uninsured value insurance. This concern is also relevant for proposals to mandate health insurance coverage since workers will suffer welfare losses if compelled to purchase coverage they perceive to be of little value. To address this issue, we use the 2001 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey t…
A Closer Look at the Managed Care Backlash
BACKGROUND: Much anecdotal evidence exists regarding the managed care backlash of the late 1990s, but limited empirical evidence is available. OBJECTIVES: Using a unique series of employer surveys, we examined trends in enrollment rates in health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other plan types between 1997 and 2003. RESEARCH DESIGN: We present enrollment rates in employer-sponsored health plans by plan type. These plan-level enrollment rate…
The Effect of SCHIP Expansions on Health Insurance Decisions by Employers
This study uses repeated cross-sectional data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Insurance Component (MEPS-IC), a large nationally representative survey of establishments, to investigate the effect of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) on health insurance decisions by employers. The data span the years 1997 to 2001, the period when states were implementing SCHIP. We exploit cross-state variation in the timing of SCHIP im…

Given that insurance coverage reflects employers' decisions to offer coverage, eligibility requirements for such coverage, and employees' take-up decisions, all three elements are important when considering mechanisms to decrease the number of uninsured individuals. Res…

Gender Differences in Days Lost from Work Due to Illness
The author uses data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey to investigate the extent and determinants of gender differences in days lost from work due to illness. She finds that for both men and women, health status measures, such as self-reported health status and medical events, more consistently explained absenteeism than did economic factors such as wages and the presence of sick leave. The presence of young children increased wom…
