abstract: 'Since 2012, the Congressional Budget Office has included an estimate of

  the market value of government-provided health insurance coverage in its

  measures of household income. We follow this practice for both public

  and private health insurance to capture the impact of greater access to

  government-provided health insurance for working-age people with

  disabilities, whose market value rose in 2010 dollars from \$11.7

  billion in 1980 to \$114.3 billion in 2012. We then consider the more

  general implications of incorporating estimates of the market price of

  insurance, equivalent to that provided by the government, into policy

  analyses in a post-Affordable Care Act world. (JEL D31, H24, I18, J31)'
