Policy-Relevant Insurance Studies (PRIS)

Description:
http://www.rwjf.org/en/library/funding-opportunities/2016/policy-relevant-insurance-studies--pris-.html?rid=GCwK8mvlIypq6d4XQxCigg&et_cid=449547 

Additional Information:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded public and private coverage options, created online Marketplaces to foster competition among health insurance plans, and stimulated payment and delivery system reform efforts in an attempt to make health care more affordable, more accessible and of higher quality. The online Marketplaces provide an opportunity for consumers to shop for health insurance and potentially receive a tax credit. Yet, despite a significant reduction in the uninsured rate, millions of eligible individuals remain uninsured, many with important concerns about affordability. At the same time, a number of carriers are experiencing financial difficulties in these new marketplaces, while impending mergers among large carriers create concerns about the price effects of further consolidation in health care. 
This call for proposals (CFP) will focus on empirical and policy–relevant analyses that address the issue of affordability of health insurance.
