Journal Article
Research suggests that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions improved financial protection for the poor. However, evidence is limited on whether subsidies offered through the ACA Marketplaces, the law’s other major coverage expansion, were associated with reduced financial burden.

Journal Article
The individual health insurance market has grown significantly since the 2014 implementation of the Affordable Care Act’s state-based and federally facilitated Marketplaces. During annual open enrollment periods, Marketplace enrollees can switch plans for the upcoming year. The percentage of re-enrollees in California’s state-based Marketplace, Covered California, who made changes to their coverage steadily increased between the 2014–15 and 2017–18 open enrollment periods.

Journal Article
This study aimed to examine whether hospitals are more likely to temporarily close their emergency departments (EDs) to ambulances (through ambulance diversions) if neighboring diverting hospitals are public vs. private. Authors analyzed ambulance diversion logs for California hospitals, discharge data, and hospital characteristics data from California's Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development and the American Hospital Association (2007).

Journal Article
This study examines potential nonresponse bias in a large-scale, population-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey in California and its association with the response rate. Using 2005 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data and 2000 U.S. Census data, and then linking the two data sets at the census tract level, the authors compared a broad range of neighborhood characteristics of respondents and nonrespondents to CHIS.

Journal Article
Many studies have documented the adverse consequences of uninsurance for children, but less is known about the differential effects of varying periods of uninsurance. This study examines the relative effects of varying periods of uninsurance (uninsured for 1–4 months, 5–11 months, or all year) on children's access to care.

Research Report
This report from UCLA CHPR shows that job-based health insurance coverage -- the backbone of the state's system of health insurance – continues to decline. More than 6.5 million Californians under age 65 (more than one in five nonelderly residents) went without insurance for at least part of 2005. Even with the strong economic recovery, employment-based coverage of the nonelderly population as a whole fell from 56.4% in 2001 to 54.3% in 2005.

Journal Article
This journal article examines the association between primary care physician (PCP) reimbursement and delivery of sexually transmitted disease (STD) services. The study's design takes a cross-sectional sample of PCPs contracted with Medicaid managed care organizations in 2002 in 8 California counties with the highest rates of Medicaid enrollment and chlamydia cases.
