Overview: As policymakers consider expanding insurance coverage for HIV+ individuals, it is useful to ask if insurance has any affect on health outcomes; and, if so, whether public insurance is as efficacious as private insurance in preventing premature deaths among HIV+ patients. Using data from a nationally representative cohort of HIV-infected persons receiving regular medical care, the paper estimates the impact of different types of insurance on mortality in this population. It finds that ignoring observed and unobserved health status leads one to conclude (misleadingly) that insurance may not be protective for HIV patients.
