Abstract

Overlapping generations general equilibrium models are developed to study health insurance reforms in the U.S. The models share common features such as heterogeneity in health, medical expenditures, productivity, endogenous insurance decisions, and capture key aspects of the U.S. insurance system. Each model is calibrated to match the 2007 U.S. economy.
