This information
collection is approved through 11-2000 under the following
conditions: HCFA will immediately add questions to determine the
effect of a Medicaid expansion on existing coverage. Specifically,
this survey should establish what percentage of the new eligibles
replaced existing employer-based coverage with Medicaid; and
whether area employers of low-income individuals "dropping"
insurance coverage becasue of the increased availability of
Medicaid. As discussed with HCFA, the previously cleared baseline
(0938-0681) may not be used as part of the quantitative analysis of
of the Demonstration's impacts, but may be used qualitatively to
reference health and insurance status of individuals surveyed in
early 1996.
