It's About Time: Effects of the ACA Dependent Coverage Mandate on Time Use
National Bureau of Economic Research [NBER] Link to more items from this source
Nov. 16, 2015
"[T]he ACA's dependent coverage provision has reduced job-lock, as well as the duration of the average doctor's visit, including time spent waiting for and receiving medical care, among persons ages 19-25. The latter effect is consistent with a substitution from hospital ER utilization to greater routine physician care. The extra time has gone into socializing, and to a lesser extent, into education and job search. Availability of insurance and change in work time appear to have increased young adults' subjective well-being, enabling them to spend time on activities they view as more meaningful than those they did before insurance became available."
