Seven years later I not only have received my Masters but a PhD from the greatest University in the world. These past seven years have been humbling, enriching, and rewarding. I am incredibly grateful for all of the support that I have received from the faculty in Health Management and Policy. In particular, during my Masters training, I want to thank Dr.’s David Mendez, Richard Hirth, and Christy Lemak. Each of you supported and encouraged me to continue my education in the doctoral program. Without your guidance, support, and kindness I would not have even started on this journey. Any success that I have had during my time in the doctoral program has been a result of the people that I have collaborated with and learned from. Most prominently are my dissertation co-chairs Dr.’s Scott Greer and Holly Jarman.

  • Utah Medicaid Gap Analysis February 2014
    Utah Medicaid Gap Analysis February 2014 INTRODUCTION In 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) called for the expansion of Medicaid coverage to certain low income adults. In a 2012 US Supreme Court ruling the Medicaid expansion became an optional element of the new law. The result was that some individuals that do not qualify for Medicaid will be left without premium subsidies as well unless individual states elect to expand their Medicaid programs. These individuals who make too much to qualify for Medicaid but too little to qualify for insurance premium subsidies have been referred to as the Medicaid “gap”. Voices for Utah Children asked Notalys, LLC, an economic research and data intelligence firm, to estimate the number of individuals in the Medicaid gap in each legislative district in Utah. Notalys utilized population data from the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau to arrive at these estimations. While several intricacies of the Medicaid eligibility and ACA subsidy rules cannot be exactly represented with existing and available data sources, Notalys has taken extreme care to represent the statistical ranges for each estimate and outline the possible limitations of this study. Main Findings The results of this analysis are a district by district estimate for the total number of people who are likely to be affected by the Medicaid gap if Medicaid is not expanded in the state of Utah. These numbers are presented in terms of the total count of individuals in the district who fall into the gap and in terms of the percentage of all adults 18-64 within the district who fall into the gap.
