New Insurance Study Findings Recently Were Reported by Researchers at University of Wisconsin Madison (Interaction of the Labor Market and the Health Insurance System: Employer-sponsored, Individual, and Public Insurance): Insurance

2025 OCT 03 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health Policy and Law Daily -- Investigators publish new report on Insurance. According to news reporting originating in Madison, Wisconsin, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “We develop and estimate an equilibrium model with heterogeneous local markets, households, and firms, highlighting the interrelationship between various components of the health insurance system-employer-sponsored health insurance (ESHI), individual health insurance (HIX), and Medicaid-and their relationship with the labor market.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Wisconsin Madison, “We estimate the model exploiting variation across states and before and after the Affordable Care Act. We consider counterfactual policies that cross subsidize between ESHI and HIX, including pure ESHI-HIX risk pooling as a special case.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “We find that such policies would increase household welfare and output and decrease government expenditure and would be more effective with Medicaid expansion.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
