EFFECT OF EASED RESTRICTIONS FOR ACA-EXEMPT SHORT-TERM HEALTH PLANS ON MARKETPLACE PREMIUMS AND UNINSURED RATE: A DIFFERENCE IN DIFFERENCES ANALYSIS

Effect of Eased Restrictions for ACA-Exempt Short-Term Health Plans on Marketplace Premiums and Uninsured Rate: A Difference in Differences Analysis

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) established broad standards for private health insurance in the United States including requiring minimum essential benefits and prohibiting Refrigerated medical underwriting, but the law also permitted some exceptions.This paper examines one type of exempt plan option, Short-Term, Limited Duration Insurance (STLDI) th

On the linguistic violence

This work addresses the problem of renaming certain Ester-C parts of indivisible Serbian language in Montenegro into a cumulative mother tongue with four name sub-variants (Serbian, Montenegrin, Bosnian and Croatian).In fact, this represents a lead into the phase of renaming the indivisible Serbian language into the "indivisible" Montenegrin langua

Exploring the Contribution of TLR7 to Sex-Based Disparities in Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)-Induced Inflammation and Immunity

TLR7 plays a key role in recognizing viral RNA to initiate an immune response.Sex-based differences in the severity of RSV respiratory infections have been noted, and this may be related to higher expression of X-linked toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) in female immune cells.Indeed, TLR7 has been shown to influence sex differences in responses to other

Boltzmann energy-based image analysis demonstrates that extracellular domain size differences explain protein segregation at immune synapses.

Immune synapses formed by T and NK cells both show segregation of the integrin ICAM1 from other proteins such as CD2 (T cell) or KIR (NK cell).However, the mechanism by which these proteins segregate remains unclear; one key hypothesis is a redistribution based on GINGKO COMPLETE protein size.Simulations of this mechanism qualitatively reproduce ob
