Dependent coverage provision led to uneven insurance gains and unchanged mortality rates in young adult trauma patients.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) allows young adults to remain covered under their parents’ plans until age 26. This study conducted a difference-in-differences analysis of coverage rates among trauma patients ages 19-25 (compared to patients ages 26 to 34) and examined trauma-relevant outcomes. It found a 3.4 percent decrease in uninsurance status among younger trauma patients following the ACA policy change.
