This study examines the effect of public reporting of quality information on the demand for public insurance. In particular, we examine the effect of the introduction of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital quality report cards in 2008. Using data from the Current Population Survey in 2005–2015, we find that new information about the quality of a VA hospital had a significant effect on VA coverage among veterans living in the same Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Despite the significant effect on VA coverage, the quality report did not have a spillover effect on veterans’ labor supply. Moreover, updated quality information released in later years, which was presented in a less straightforward form, led to no additional changes in VA coverage. These findings suggest that quality reports for public insurance programs can be used as a policy lever to facilitate take up decision among potential beneficiaries.

质量信息披露和健康保险需求:来自VA医院报告卡的证据。

本研究考察了公共报告质量信息对公共保险需求的影响。特别是,我们研究了2008年推出的退伍军人事务(VA)医院质量报告卡的效果。使用2005-2015年当前人口调查的数据,我们发现有关VA医院质量的新信息具有重要意义。对居住在同一大都市统计区(MSA)的退伍军人的VA覆盖率的影响。尽管对VA覆盖率有显着影响,但质量报告对退伍军人的劳动力供应没有溢出效应。此外,以后发布的更新质量信息以一种不太直接的形式呈现,因此不会导致VA覆盖率发生其他变化。
