Risk factors for early disenrollment from Colorado's Affordable Care Act marketplace.
This study looked at risk factors for early disenrollment from Colorado’s Affordable Care Act marketplace. Researchers used all-payer claims data from individual market enrollees from 2014-2016. They discovered that nearly 25% Marketplace beneficiaries disenrolled midyear. The hazard rate of disenrollement was 30% lower in individuals with cost-sharing plans and 21% lower for those enrolled in gold plans compared to those enrolled in silver plans without cost-sharing subsidies. There was greater disenrollment in beneficiaries with greater hospital and emergency utilization before disenrollment. Also, young adults were 70% more likely to disenroll than older adults.

Exploring policies for the reduction of child physical abuse and neglect.
This article identifies 37 state policies that might have impacts on the social determinants of child maltreatment and utilizes the available data to explore effects of 11 policies. There were two policies that were significantly associated with decreased child maltreatment rates: lack of waitlists to access subsidized child care and policies that facilitate continuity of child health care.
