Modeling the Effects of the Individual Mandate on Health Insurance Coverage
Presentation
Presentation by Alexandra Minicozzi, Unit Chief of Health Insurance Modeling in CBO’s Health, Retirement, and Long-Term Analysis Division, at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Actuaries.
CBO discusses the theoretical and empirical basis for its estimates of the effect on health insurance coverage of repealing the individual mandate—which requires most people to have insurance or pay a penalty. These slides reprise material presented to CBO's Panel of Health Advisers in September 2017, with the addition of updated estimates published earlier this month.
