Abstract

We use a novel data set from a private online marketplace to estimate the demand for individual health insurance among a set comprising many high-income households across 18 states. Households earning more than four times the federal poverty level (FPL) are willing to pay $30 to $135 per month to increase the actuarial value of their insurance by 10 percentage points, much less than households earning less than 2.5 times FPL. Higher-income households are also less likely to forgo insurance because of a premium increase. These results are important for understanding the effect of health reform proposals targeting higher-income populations.

个人保险需求
我们使用一个来自私人在线市场的新数据集来估计18个州的许多高收入家庭对个人健康保险的需求。收入超过联邦贫困水平四倍的家庭愿意每月支付30至135美元,以将其保险的精算价值提高10个百分点,远低于收入低于联邦贫困水平2.5倍的家庭。高收入家庭也不太可能因为保费上涨而放弃保险。这些结果对于理解针对高收入人群的卫生改革提案的效果非常重要。
