LDI Issue Brief
|July 12, 2018
Summary
State-based marketplaces (SBMs) showed better performance than federally-facilitated marketplaces (FFMs) from 2016-2018. SBMs experienced slower premium growth and more stable enrollment compared to FFMs.
Area of Science:
- Health Policy
- Health Insurance Markets
- Healthcare Economics
Background:
- Federal regulatory changes prompted state-based marketplaces (SBMs) to implement stabilization strategies.
- Comparison between state-based and federally-facilitated marketplaces (FFMs) is crucial for understanding market performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the performance of SBMs and FFMs between 2016 and 2018.
- To analyze the impact of state-level interventions on individual health insurance markets.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of marketplace data from 2016-2018.
- Examination of key performance indicators including premium changes, carrier participation, and enrollment figures.
Main Results:
- SBMs exhibited slower premium increases (43%) compared to FFMs (75%).
- SBMs experienced fewer carrier exits than FFMs.
- FFM participation declined by 10%, while SBM enrollment remained stable, increasing by 2%.
Conclusions:
- State-based marketplaces demonstrated greater stability and slower premium growth than federally-facilitated marketplaces during the study period.
- Marketplace performance varies significantly by state and appears to be influenced by marketplace type.

Facilitated Transport
149.5K
The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a...

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Facilitated Diffusion
1.3K
The plasma membrane, a critical structure in cellular biology, houses an array of transporters, or carrier proteins, interspersed within its lipid bilayer. These proteins play a crucial role in solute transport through facilitated diffusion, a form of passive diffusion that uses transporters to move the molecules across the membrane.
In this process, substrates such as organic compounds and ions interact with a transporter on one side, triggering conformational changes in proteins that enable...

Lewis Acids and Bases
48.4K
In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Base Excision Repair
26.4K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
