Self-reported reasons and patterns of noninsurance among cancer survivors before and after implementation of the Affordable Care Act, 2000-2017

JAMA Oncology May 20, 2019

Sanford NN, et al. - By analyzing National Health Interview Survey data, researchers evaluated self-reported reasons for not having insurance among cancer survivors as well as focused on demographic and socioeconomic factors related to uninsured status, prior to and following the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2014. Not having health insurance was self-reported by 1842 (10.3%) of 17,806 nonelderly cancer survivors (2000-2017), with 10.6% reported pre-ACA vs 6.2% post-ACA implementation in 2014. The most common reasons for not having health insurance were cost and unemployment, which both decreased following ACA implementation. The other reasons that were reported by the participants were employment related, family status change, aging out of a family plan, or refusal of coverage by an insurance company.
