Health Policy and Law Daily

2021 OCT 14 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health Policy and Law Daily -- Investigators discuss new findings in Economics - Economic Policy. According to news reporting originating in Albany, New York, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Public policies can have unintended effects on young adults’ decisions about living arrangements and migration. The Affordable Care Act dependent care provision mandated that private health insurance plans that offer dependent coverage must allow young adults to stay on parents’ insurance until age 26.”

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the State University of New York (SUNY) Albany, “In this paper, we test whether the provision is associated with young adults’ propensity to live with/near parents. Data come from the 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation.”

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Findings indicate that the provision is associated with increased likelihood that young adults live with a parent, and decreased likelihood that young adults live with other relatives/nonrelatives.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
