    Pretty grim . . .
     


    “The immediate and most visible effect of ACA repeal would be the loss of coverage and access to care for millions of people who have gained insurance because of the law,” said Sara Collins, Ph.D., vice president for health care coverage and access at The Commonwealth Fund. “This study points to even larger potential economic effects that would be detrimental to the health and well-being of millions more.”
     
    The report, Repealing Federal Health Reform: The Economic and Employment Consequences for States, by Ku and his colleagues Erika Steinmetz, Erin Brantley and Brian Bruen, all with the Milken Institute School of Public Health’s Department of Health Policy and Management, is posted at http://www.commonwealthfund.org/Publications/Issue-Briefs/2017/Jan/Repea....

    A longer version of the report, including complete explanation of the study’s methods, is available at:
