Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI 1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036 Directions to AEI
In this seminar in AEI’s tax policy series, Prof. Mark Pauly and Bradley Herring of the University of Pennsylvania discuss the options available in the design of refundable tax credits for health insurance purchases. They compare three alternative types of tax credit schemes: fixed-dollar credits toward the purchase of a basic plan, proportional credits toward the purchase of a plan, and fixed-dollar credits that can be used for the purchase of any plan with a premium at least as large as the credit. Their paper shows that credits which cover approximately half of the premium of a benchmark policy may substantially reduce the number of uninsured. Eugene Steuerle of the Urban Institute will comment on the paper.
