Health Reform Monitoring Survey, United States, April 2021

In January 2013, the Urban Institute launched the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS), a survey of the nonelderly population, to explore the value of cutting-edge, Internet-based survey methods to monitor the Affordable Care Act (ACA) before data from federal government surveys are available. Topics covered by the 20th round of the survey (April 2021) include self-reported health status, health insurance coverage, access to health care, awareness of Marketplace and Medicaid coverage options, use of public benefits, telehealth, COVID-19 vaccine attitudes, forgone care because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and unfair treatment in health care settings. Additional information collected by the survey includes age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, education, race and ethnicity, United States citizenship, housing type, home ownership, internet access, income, and employment status.
