This document summarizes research examining whether gender gaps in health insurance coverage, access to care, use of care, and affordability of care narrowed under Massachusetts' health reform between 2006 and 2009. The researchers analyzed survey data from before and after reform, estimating models to test for changes in gender differences over time. Key findings included that both men and women gained from reform through increased coverage, but the gender gap in coverage narrowed most for younger adults. While women had higher coverage in 2009, they were still more likely than men to report unmet needs or problems affording care, indicating insurance may provide better financial protection for men.
