Health Reform Monitoring Survey, United States, First Quarter 2020

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 19th round of the survey (first quarter 2020) include self-reported health status, health insurance coverage, access to health care, trust in the health care system, use of public benefits, material hardship, and the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
