Health Insurance Transitions Under the ACA Experienced by People Previously Insured in Non-Group Plans
This brief describes the coverage transitions of Minnesotans who had non-group coverage in 2013, prior to full ACA implementation. The authors describe this group's experiences searching for health insurance under the ACA, including their use of the resources made available by the newly implemented MNsure Marketplace and their perceptions of financial protection in 2014. The data used are from the Minnesota Health Insurance Transition Study (MN-HITS), a 2014 longitudinal telephone survey that followed people who reported having non-group coverage in 2013.
