Contributing to Health Reform: Analysis and Technical Assistance Grant, Year 8

Sherry Glied and her team at New York University will continue to provide programming and data support for Fund staff and grantee research related to health care coverage and access trends, using the Current Population Survey, Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, and other publicly available datasets. The team will be flexible in responding to policy developments, and will produce two to three papers that address the following: alternative coverage strategies for those who have lost their job-based insurance due to COVID-19; the implications of post-COVID-19 employment patterns on insurance coverage, particularly in the industries that are at risk for long-term declines in employment; and an assessment of how the ACA affected employer-sponsored insurance and how COVID-19 may shape the future of this type of coverage.
