Characteristics of Remaining Uninsured Men and Potential Strategies to Reach and Enroll them in Health Coverage
Issue Brief
This brief is based on Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of the 2015 Current Population Survey, combined with other data sources; 2014 is the most recent year with full data required for this analysis. We estimate coverage and eligibility as of early 2015, which is prior to the end of the 2015 Marketplace open enrollment period, but this brief reflects state Medicaid expansion decisions as of January 2016. An overview of the methodology underlying the analysis can be found in the Methods box at the end of the data note at: https://www.kff.org/health-reform/issue-brief/new-estimates-of-eligibility-for-aca-coverage-among-the-uninsured/.
