Event Description
This webinar explores churn — i.e., movement between different insurance coverage types or uninsurance — under the Affordable Care Act and approaches to measuring and projecting churn at the state level.
SHADAC researcher Colin Planalp discusses how churn has changed since implementation of the ACA, the potential impacts for individuals and states, and approaches to estimating churn. Policy analyst Oliver Droppers, from the Oregon Office for Health Policy and Research, discusses Oregon’s experiences estimating churn and policy strategies to address it.
Specific topics of discussion include:
