The Social, Economic, and Political Effects of the Affordable Care Act

Overview

<p><span>The Russell Sage Foundation initiative will support innovative social science research on the social, economic and political effects of the Affordable Care Act. Of special interest are analyses that address important questions about the effects of the reform on outcomes such as financial security and family economic well-being, labor supply and demand, participation in other public programs, family and children’s outcomes, and differential effects by age, race, ethnicity, nativity, or disability status. The foundation is also interested in research that examines the political effects of the implementation of the the new law, including changes in views about government, support for future government policy changes, or the impact on policy development outside of health care. </span></p>
