Analyzing the health care cost curve: a case study.
The author uses data from a self-insured employer plan to perform an analysis into the properties of the health care cost curve. He finds that costs rise continuously, not on an annual or monthly basis as typically charted by actuarial models. He concludes that population health management programs and health policy should be based on continuous analysis and adaption.

Tax subsidies for employer-sponsored health insurance: updated microsimulation estimates and sensitivity to alternative incidence assumptions.
Using MEPS data, the authors estimated 2012 tax expenditures for employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) in the United States and explored the sensitivity of estimates to assumptions regarding the incidence of employer premium contributions. They concluded that the aggregate value of the ESI tax subsidy and its distribution across firms can be reliably estimated using simplified incidence assumptions.
