The research questions are important	“We need to remember that it [health insurance] is a public health issue, and the health of each of us affects the health of all.” “People need to understand how the [health] insurance programs work …”	We feel validated and reaffirmed in our work and will continue with renewed dedication.
The research questions were not specific enough	“Questions need more clarification and need to be more specific. They are too broad and have too many meanings.” “Research questions need to be better described.”	We should have provided more explanation in advance when engaging community members; use popular education to better explain the nature of research questions.
The research questions did not take culture into account	“Income and legal status are factors that need to be considered throughout all of the questions.” “[The research questions] focus on the traditional family, which is too narrow of a definition, in addition they don’t distinguish between gender, generation, sexual orientation, etc.”	We will expand the definition of family.
Additional Questions of Interest
How the OHP system works	“How are OHP policy changes communicated?” “If everyone who is eligible for OHP receives OHP, will there be enough practitioners to see them?”	We will think about these questions when designing future studies.
Ensure all groups are represented in the data	“What communities are not represented in the data?”	We will look closely at race/ethnicity variables.
Assess the short and long term effects of health insurance changes on the health and social status of the entire family	“How does parental loss of insurance affect the well-being of the children including … all the other social issues that come into play in the family?” “Beyond children, how do state health care policies affect adults, seniors, and men specifically, as well as the community as a whole?” “Are there any protective factors for obtaining and keeping insurance for everyone in the family?”	We will investigate the impact of losing or gaining health insurance beyond access to health services to include information regarding receipt of other social services.
