18 2. Not So Good News States struggling on Medicaid expansion Lack of continuing/ongoing support for hard work of access expansion Affordable Care Act is not affordable enough Urban Institute Political threats not over -- continuing lawsuits, 2016 elections Much more money for opponents than for ACA supporters on political mobilization
19 State Medicaid Expansion Decisions 19
20 MA Health Reform Saved Lives Changes in Mortality After Massachusetts Health Care Reform: A Quasi-experimental Study: Changes in Mortality After Massachusetts Health Care Reform In the first 4 years after Massachusetts implemented 2006 health reform law, state mortality decreased 2.9% compared with similar populations in states not expanding health coverage. MA health reform has prevented ~320 deaths per year one life saved for each 830 people gaining insurance. Figure Legend: Unadjusted mortality rates for adults aged 20 to 64 years in Massachusetts versus control group ( ). The shaded band designates the beginning of the Massachusetts state health care reform in July Health care amenable mortality is as defined in Table 1 of the Supplement. Other-cause mortality contains all other causes of death not included in that definition. Ann Intern Med. 2014;160(9): doi: /m Date of download: 5/7/2014 Copyright American College of Physicians.

22 Urban Institute Recommendations Improve premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions i.e.: Move Silver from 70% to 80% actuarial value Ease access to marketplace financial assistance for those affected by the family glitch Allow states the option to expand Medicaid to 100 percent of the federal poverty level instead of 138 percent Increase federal grants for information technology development and operation; education, outreach, and enrollment activities; and oversight and enforcement of insurance regulations

24 3. Messages that Work The health care law is here to stay. We need to fix and improve it to make it work better. Remember what everyone likes No more exclusions for pre-existing conditions Staying on parents' plan until age 26 More women get coverage and preventive services without co-pays Limits on how much you can be required to pay out of pocket People can get insurance if they have a life-changing event and not locked into jobs We all need to do more on lowering the cost of healthcare Source: Community Catalyst
25 Partisan Divide on the ACA s Future 25
26 Knowledge of ACA Increases Its Favorability Source: Wendy Gross et al: Americans Attitudes Toward the Affordable Care Act
27 4. Hope for the Future Ted Kennedy in 1995 Leadership is about seeing and seizing opportunity where others see no pathway or hope. Big health sector players rarely take the lead they follow when it's safe to do so You are we are America s health justice movement It's never over. It's never done.
28 Health reform is the achievement of a movement The Health Justice Movement 100+ years in the making since Teddy Roosevelt Wins and losses mostly losses 1949, 1965, 1974, 1979, , , 1997 Like any movement: Ups and downs; Sharp, disagreements; No controlling legal authority Disciplined learning from prior failures 28
29 ACA & disparities/inequities, Mental health, women, more Cong. Jim Clyburn: the Civil Rights Act of the 21 st century More than half of U.S. uninsured are non-white and lower income Mental Health: the largest expansion of behavioral health coverage in a generation Sebelius Women s Health: greatest advance for women s health in a generation National Partnership for W&F Addiction-Substance Abuse: I don t think there s another illness that will be more affected by the ACA. McClellan Disability: The ACA undeniably changes the paradigm for working-age people with disabilities, who now do not need to choose between healthcare and a job. B. Otto 29
