CalSIM 1.8 Data
Covered California has worked closely with researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and Los Angeles, over the last year to understand the demographics of Californians who are eligible for and likely to purchase coverage through Covered California. The University’s California Simulation of Insurance Markets (CalSIM), a California-centric, micro-simulation model that estimates the effects of the Affordable Care Act on the enrollment of individuals in insurance coverage, has provided Covered California with eligibility and enrollment estimates by race and ethnicity, income, age, gender, region, English proficiency and current insurance status. These data are used throughout the organization to inform marketing, outreach and plan contracting strategies to ensure that resources are targeted to the areas of highest need.
Below are two CalSIM data books.
