New Health Insurance Findings Has Been Reported by Investigators at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (The Affordable Care Act and Opportunities for Change in North Carolina's Commercial Fisheries)

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- Investigators publish new report on Health Insurance. According to news reporting originating from Miami, Florida, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Commercial fishing is generally hazardous, but some types of commercial fishing are more dangerous than others. Since much of the fishing industry is composed of small family-owned businesses, commercial fishermen often have to rely on the private health insurance markets."

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "Do commercial fishermen working in more dangerous areas or with more dangerous gear mitigate their risk by purchasing health insurance? I examine the relationship between the economics of the North Carolina commercial fishing fleet and private market health insurance purchases in the two years immediately preceding the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Establishing this baseline is important, as the slow implementation of the Act's expanded coverage will take time to make meaningful impacts on commercial fishing fleets."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "I close by considering which aspects of commercial fishing might be most affected by the ACA."
