How Does Gaining Health Coverage Affect People’s Lives?

Kaiser – “In 2014, millions of people gained health insurance as the major coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) were implemented. While much attention has been paid to enrollment in new coverage options and changes in the number of uninsured over the past year, less is known about how this coverage has affected people’s lives. This report, based on the 2014 Kaiser Survey of Low-Income Americans and the ACA, aims to understand the impact that gaining coverage has had on the lives of the “newly insured” adult population. The survey of 10,502 non-elderly adults was fielded between September 2 and December 15, 2014, with the majority of interviews (70%) conducted prior to November 15, 2014 (the start of the second open enrollment period). Additional detail on the survey methods is available in the methods appendix available online.”
