With the passage of the American Rescue Plan (ARP) in March 2021, more consumers than ever before are now eligible for $0 -- or $1 per member per month (PMPM) in Marketplaces that include abortion coverage -- health insurance coverage across the ACA Marketplaces. But many individuals may not be aware of the new subsidies, or of their eligibility for Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR) Silver plans. This project's goal is to examine whether personalized letters and email reminders can increase health insurance enrollment, CSR Silver take-up and $1 PMPM coverage.
