QuickTakes

This series highlights timely data from the Health Reform Monitoring Survey, a quarterly survey of the nonelderly that is using Internet-based survey methods to monitor the Affordable Care Act (ACA) before data from federal government surveys are available.

QuickTakes provide information on health insurance coverage, access to and use of health care, health care affordability, and self-reported health status, as well as quick data on important implementation issues under the ACA.
