Survey of Non-Group Health Insurance Enrollees, Wave 2

This survey reports on the views and experiences of people purchasing health insurance coverage in the non-group market. Over the past few years, the ACA has had a significant impact on this group, as new rules took effect that standardized coverage, guaranteed coverage for those with pre-existing conditions, and established income-based federal financial assistance to those buying insurance through new health insurance Exchanges or Marketplaces. Starting on January 1, 2014, all coverage newly purchased either through a Marketplace or directly from an insurance company had to follow new rules under the ACA (i.e. “ACA-compliant”).
