We investigate the impact of losing health insurance coverage at age 26 due to aging out of the Affordable Care Act’s dependent coverage on health insurance coverage rates and various indicators of inpatient medical care. We find that the probability of being covered under any type of health insurance plan decreases by 2.5–6.2 percentage points at age 26. However, the effects of this discrete change in health insurance coverage on inpatient medical care and related costs are insignificant.

超出受抚养人保险范围的老龄化以及对住院医疗护理使用的影响。

我们调查了因超出《平价医疗法案》的依赖保险范围而在 26 岁时失去健康保险对健康保险覆盖率和住院医疗护理的各种指标的影响。我们发现，在 26 岁时，被任何类型的健康保险计划覆盖的可能性会降低 2.5-6.2 个百分点。然而，健康保险覆盖范围的这种离散变化对住院医疗护理和相关费用的影响微不足道。
