Summary/Abstract:
Since 1999, Georgia's PeachCare for Kids(TM); Program has expanded health insurance coverage for Georgia's low-income children, those at risk of being otherwise uninsured. A common finding in the academic literature on CHIP premiums is that increases in premiums reduce the duration of CHIP enrollment. Over the past several years Georgia has implemented significant increases in the premium levels charged to families participating in its PeachCare program. In response to a request from the Department of Community Health, researchers associated with the Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC) have completed an analysis of the effect of the level of CHIP premiums on the duration of children's spans of CHIP enrollment and examined whether or not this relationship varies by child health status.
