Please join us for a “What I Am Thinking About Now” presentation by Ronald Aubert, Professor of the Practice, Health Services Policy and Practice, Brown University School of Public Health.

“Forced Out?: Vulnerable Populations and Healthcare Coverage in the Age of the ACA”
The marked gains in health insurance coverage made since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 are beginning to reverse. Further erosion in insurance coverage is expected to continue in 2019. Qualitative research indicates that some populations opt out of health care coverage even when they are eligible for these services. This project seeks to understand opting out healthcare behaviors across the United States and the potential indicators associated with opting out of health insurance coverage.

“What I Am Thinking About Now” is an on-going informal workshop/seminar series to which faculty and graduate students are invited to present and discuss recently published work and work in progress. All are invited to attend and participate.
