Abstract: The HIFA initiative sought to increase health coverage of uninsured populations through a flexible waiver process emphasizing public subsidy of Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI). Testing whether that approach reduces the rate/number of uninsured is critically important to CMS. The proposed survey of HIFA enrollees in New Mexico and Oregon would provide the only data available to test certain fundamental HIFA effects, especially with reference to reduction of the uninsured population, the effectiveness of premium assistance for ESI, and the possibility of crowd-out of private coverage.
