HRLD’s recently completed work includes analyses of the effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on insurance coverage and federal health care spending, analyses of the effects on coverage and spending if the ACA’s provisions were changed, long-term projections of spending in federal health care programs, and a study of how a “premium support” system for Medicare might be designed. Ongoing work includes further analyses related to the ACA and studies on a broad range of topics, such as factors affecting the supply and prices of medical care. The successful candidate will contribute to developing new studies and to designing and improving the state-of-the-art analytical models that underlie them. Analysts are also encouraged to turn projects and independent research into CBO working papers and outside publications.
