CHASP releases policy briefs to focus on health insurance in Texas
Created as part of a professional research project under the direction of CHASP professor Jeanne Lambrew, these policy briefs support the work of the Texas Coverage Institute funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and together provide a comprehensive look at options for expanding health insurance coverage in Texas.
“Accountability and Transparency of Small Group Health Insurance in Texas”

“Expanding the High-Risk Pool: Helping Texas Insure the Uninsurable”
This policy brief offers options to improve the performance of the risk pool and reach more chronically ill Texans in need of health care coverage.
“Distributing the Risk: Reinsuring the Small Group Health Insurance Market,”
