9. Health Insurance Market The Affordable Care Act established Health Insurance Marketplaces (HIM) for individual market and small group market. Let us focus on the one specific provision in the individual market. For individuals whose household income is under 250% of Federal Poverty Line (FPL), when they enroll in a silver plan from HIM, they will be automatically enrolled into a same-benefit but lower cost-sharing plan, compared to individuals above 250%. For simplicity, these cost-sharing reductions lower the coinsurance rate for individuals below 250% FPL in a silver plan from 25% to 10%. Suppose that we have two nearly identical individuals Jill and Anne (single, no other household members). Based on their employment contract, Jill's projected household income is 250% FPL, whereas Anne's projected household income is 251% FPL. They both enrolled in the same silver plan via DC Health Link. Now answer the following questions 1-2. A. The graph below contains two ("nominal") demand curves for physician visits (D1 and D2). Please label which is for Jill? Anne? Briefly explain. 100 D₂ 10 Physician Visits (Q) Price (P) 40 20 16 D₂ an

Which of the following solutions do not help offset uncompensated care costs? Medicare and Medicaid provide disproportionate-share payments to hospitals whose patients are mostly publicly insured or uninsured. State and local taxes help pay for additional charity care and safety-net programs provided through public hospitals and local health departments. Uninsured individuals have access to acute care through a federal law that requires most hospitals to treat all patients requiring emergency care. O ACA decreased funding to federally qualified health centers
AND Health Coverage by Race and Ethnicity, 2010-2019 April 15th is traditionally the due date for filing taxes for the previous year's earnings and many U.S. residents rely on their anticipated tax refund to cover unexpected debts...and more and more, these debts are related to healthcare costs. This anticipated refund may also affect the timing of how individuals seek care for health issues. Discuss: (a) How this delayed approach to health care needs affects the various members of a family...children, teens, adults and elderly members. (b) How might these delays affect continuity of care and establishing a usual source of care with a health provider? (c) What are the various ways that the COVID-19 pandemic has deepened inequities related to access to care...not only addressing acute health concerns, but also preventative health efforts. (d) Which groups are more deeply impacted? What are some of the short-term and long-term effects of these disruptions?

The FGT0 measure does not reflect the depth of poverty below the poverty line. [6] (i) Suggest a specific income transfer within this economy that demonstrates this limitation of FGT0. Take $1 from person 2 and give it to person 4. This makes person 2 poorer in absolute terms, but does not change FGT0. (ii) Compute FGT0 after the transfer. Still 3/6. (iii)Discuss why this feature limits how useful FGT0 is as a measure of poverty. FGT0 is not able to capture changes among the poor. For example, the desperately poor could become much better off and, as long as they weren’t so much better off that they cross the poverty line, we would see no improvement in poverty as measured by FGT0.

What makes the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) different from other poverty-fighting programs? The amount of the credit is doubled if the head of household is attending college. The tax credit is phased out gradually, rather than at a specific income cutoff point. The amount of the credit is not determined by the number of dependent children in the household. The EITC doesn't require the recipient to pay a minimum amount of income tax in order to receive the credit. It creates less of an incentive to work than other programs.
