This event is open to the public and panelists will be speaking on the record.
Over the past two years, Congress and the Administration have legislated or implemented many changes to the individual health insurance market, which include repealing the individual mandate, suspending cost-sharing reduction and risk adjustment payments, and expanding access to plans that do not comply with the original standards set up by the Affordable Care Act. Together, these decisions have contributed to the uncertainty about the stability and affordability of the state exchanges.
As insurers file and negotiate premiums with state regulators for FY 2019, this briefing will unpack the current landscape of the individual health insurance market as well as state responses to stabilize their markets.
