Description:

Understanding the dynamics of health insurance coverage is important for evaluating the effects of changes to the U.S. health insurance market. In this Statistical Brief, we examine transitions in coverage for Marketplace enrollees by utilizing the longitudinal dimension of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey-Household Component (MEPS-HC). We also compare rates of retaining Marketplace coverage with rates of retaining other types of health coverage between 2014 and 2015.
