Summary

  • Add ACA take-up values for 2023 through 2026 using APTC enrollment, not total Marketplace plan selections.
  • Compute each rate as APTC enrollment divided by APTC enrollment plus the 2023 tax-credit-eligible uninsured count.
  • Add a regression test for year-specific load_take_up_rate("aca", year) values.

  • KFF State Health Facts: Distribution of Eligibility for ACA Health Coverage Among the Remaining Uninsured

Open reviewer question

This keeps 2021 and 2022 on the existing baseline because the denominator source is 2023-specific. If reviewers are comfortable backcasting the 2023 denominator, we can extend the same calculation to 2021 and 2022 in a follow-up or in this PR.

Tests

  • uv run pytest tests/unit/test_stochastic_variables.py -q
  • uv run ruff check tests/unit/test_stochastic_variables.py
  • git diff --check
  • uv run towncrier check --compare-with origin/main

Addresses #620.
