This session will provide new insights on the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on economic wellbeing. The first paper provides novel evidence on the impact of the ACA Medicaid expansion and marketplace coverage on use of frequently used alternative financial services, including payday, pawn, title and other loans used by low-income households to make ends meet. The second paper will explore the impact of the ACA’s Medicaid expansion on pre-ACA racial and ethnic disparities in out-of-pocket medical expenditures. The third paper will estimate the effect of the ACA’s marketplace coverage on household medical and non-medical consumption and simulate the impact of newly proposed age-based premium tax credits under the American Health Care Act.
