摘要

We appreciate Ralph Bradley's interest in our analysis of the affordability of health insurance, and we welcome his contribution to the debate surrounding what we believe is an important, timely, and controversial issue. In his comments on our paper, Bradley critiques our definitions of affordability and offers some suggestions for improving their empirical implementation. He also proposes alternative definitions of affordability and a corresponding set of policies to address uninsurance. We believe that Bradley's concerns, particularly regarding our empirical work, arise primarily because our proposed definitions do not reflect his views on how affordability should be defined. In this reply, we discuss the conceptual differences between our approaches to defining affordability and identify how these differences affect Bradley's interpretation of our models. We also clarify our views regarding the role of affordability in policy making with respect to the uninsured.
