	abstract = {A Medicare buy-in allowing persons below the age of full eligibility to purchase Medicare coverage has been discussed as one way to help uninsured near elderly persons obtain insurance coverage. This brief summarizes findings from an Urban Institute report that examined potential participation rates in alternative buy-in plans and measured their potential impact on rates of uninsurance. Many individuals younger than 65 would purchase Medicare coverage, but without subsidies participation would be limited to those who could afford substantial premiums. Buy-ins would reduce uninsurance rates only if they provided subsidies to make the plans affordable to those with limited incomes.},

	abstract = {A Medicare buy-in allowing persons below the age of full eligibility to purchase Medicare
coverage has been discussed as one way to help uninsured near-elderly persons obtain health
insurance coverage. This report describes estimates of participation rates in Medicare buy-ins
and measures the potential impact of buy-in plans on uninsurance. The report also examines
some key issues that arise in designing buy-in plans. The results suggest that many near-elderly
Americans would purchase Medicare coverage, but the introduction of a buy-in would
substantially reduce uninsurance rates only if premiums were related to income. },

	abstract = {Variables measuring economic status represent a straightforward but crucial part of Round 1 of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). In addition to studies focusing directly on the economic well-being of this cohort of the population, the economic status variables are likely to be inputs into other analyses that focus on retirement and savings behavior, on variations in health status, on intrafamily transfers and support, and on poverty status. As a first look at these data, this paper has several modest goals: to offer a flavor for the major economic status variables on the HRS, to indicate some preliminary analysis of the quality of the data, and to take a preliminary look at the interrelationships among economic status measures like income and wealth and other important variables such as health status, pension rights, and health insurance coverage.},
