The Holiday Season 2013
This festive season, or simply the holidays, is a time for gathering and celebrating
with family and friends, gift giving, reflection and thanks. To commemorate this time
of year, the U.S. Census Bureau presents the following holiday-related facts and
figures from its collection of statistics.

In or Out? Billions at Stake in States' Decisions on
Expanding Medicaid
The 20 states choosing not to expand their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care
Act are forgoing billions of dollars in federal funds, even while their residents are
contributing to the cost of the expansions in other states, a new Commonwealth Fund study
finds.
The states with the highest net losses, after taking into account federal taxes paid by state
residents, include Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia. The analysis, conducted by Sherry
Glied and Stephanie Ma of New York University's Wagner Graduate School of Public
Service, is the first to calculate the net cost to taxpayers of states' decisions to turn down
the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, which became voluntary after the Supreme
Court's 2012 ruling.
Commonwealth Issue Brief
The ACA Can Survive a Low Enrollment and
Adverse Selection in the First Year
This report reviews the provisions already built into the ACA that will help to mitigate
the effect of low enrollment and adverse selection, high enrollment in insurance
marketplaces among people who are older, and thus less healthy and more costly.
Brief
What's Behind Health Insurance Rate Increases
The analysis is the first ever to take a national look at the explanations insurers file
with federal and state authorities to justify rate increases of 10 percent or more, as
required by the Affordable Care Act. Currently, insurers are only required to submit
rate increase explanations for non-grandfathered plans-those plans that became
available after the enactment of the health reform law.

This biennial report focuses on the child support income that the nation's custodial
parents reported receiving from noncustodial parents living elsewhere and other
types of support, such as health insurance and noncash assistance. New to this
year's report is information on how the extent of a child's contact with the
noncustodial parent influences whether the custodial parent receives the full amount
of child support due. The data, from the Current Population Survey, are nationallevel only.

American Community Survey: 2012
Data collected in 2012 from the nation's most comprehensive survey provide
statistics on more than 40 demographic, social, economic and housing topics. Some
of the topics covered include income, poverty, health insurance, educational
attainment, the commute to work, the foreign-born population, language spoken at
home, ancestry, occupation, number of vehicles available and housing costs. These
statistics are available for the nation, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, every congressional district and all counties, places and metropolitan areas
with populations of 65,000 or more. In addition to the statistics available from the
American FactFinder data tool, a set of analytical briefs with American Community
Survey statistics are available on income, poverty and health insurance coverage.
The annual American Community Survey gives communities the current information
they need to plan investments and services.
