The effect of health insurance on health, such as the old RAND study, the Oregon Medicaid expansion, the India study from a couple years ago, or whatever else is out there.
Robin Hanson likes to cite these studies as showing that more medicine doesn’t improve health, but I’m skeptical of the inference from ‘not statistically significant’ to ‘no effect’ (I’m in the comments there as “Unnamed”). I would like to see them re-analyzed based on effect size (e.g. a probability distribution or confidence interval for DALY per $).
