April 4, 2013: A recording of the April 2nd SHARE Webinar, "State & Federal Young Adult Coverage Expansion Policies - Further Analysis and New Questions," is now available.
The webinar featured Dr. Joel C. Cantor, Director of the Center for State Health Policy at Rutgers University, who discussed findings from his SHARE-funded research evaluating state and federal young adult dependent coverage expansion policies using the Current Population Survey (CPS).
Dr. Cantor was joined by Dr. Thomas Buchmueller, Professor of Risk Management and Insurance and Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Dr. Buchmueller discussed findings from similar research on young adult coverage using the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), along with findings from an NHIS-based analysis of the impact of the expansion of young adult dependent coverage on access to care.
