The Effect of the Affordable Care Act on Enrollment and Premiums, With and Without the Individual Mandate

Christine Eibner, Carter C. Price

Abstract

This analysis used a RAND microsimulation model to predict the effects of a possible Supreme Court decision invalidating the individual mandate provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 while keeping the other parts of the law intact. The authors predict the effects of such a decision on health insurance coverage overall and for subgroups based on income.
