Resumo(s)
This study explores the potential relationship between access to health care and social
cohesion (measured by trust) following the introduction of the Affordable Care Act in
the United States. State decisions enabled young adults to remain on their parent's health
insurance until age twenty-six, significantly increasing health care access among said
group.
Methodologically, this study leverages variations in insurance eligibility generated by
the policy to develop a difference-in-difference approach and explore the link between
healthcare access and trust.
The findings suggest that expanding healthcare access has increased the probability of
individuals (young adults) having social trust by approximately 6-9%.
