September 26, 2013: Dr. John Graves, Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, published findings from his SHARE-funded research on how and why insurance coverage dynamics vary from one state to another in the current issue of Health Affairs. Understanding these variations in coverage is essenital to understanding how many people are eligible for either coverage expansions or new coverage under the ACA. Using uninsured data from 2009-2012, Dr. Graves examines periods during which adults reported having no insurance on a state-by-state basis, and what trends in this data mean for states as they work to implement the ACA.
Dr. Graves is also currently featured on the Health Affairs Blog, where he discusses his findings and points to key lessons for policymakers.
