Editor's Notes
- It is important to remember why we have reform in the first place… What were the average rate increases prior to reform? What did you get for the increases?It was just too expensive and it was only getting worse. It is Math not Politics
- Let’s talk about how dynamic the health care market is becoming as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which I’ll call “ACA” or the health reform law.These are obviously National numbers, but are significant nonetheless.Approximately 30 million individuals will be newly insured. 80 million are likely to switch their coverage. More than 20 million are anticipated to purchase their health insurance through an Exchange. And more than 15 million are expected to be affected by Medicare increases (Wisconsin declined Federal Funding to increase Medicaid to 150% FPL). Many of these individuals may have lower income and may be more diverse, in poorer health and less sophisticated and educated.Many folks will be coming off of Small Business plans as Small Employers make financial decisions to eliminate coverage and move people to Individual plans.
- The biggest question is “how will premiums adjust”?The truth is that premiums will adjust to account for the significant changes being made to the system – Guarantee Issue, The creation of the Exchange, changes in rate formulas, expanded benefits, increases in fees. Numbers are all over the place…40% increase in Group, 80-100% increase in Individual. We will not know where the market is until JulyThe premiums should stabilize as the system matures and consumers take a more active role in their health.So let’s look at the primary components…
- Expanded Benefits – Self Explanatory – Every plan on the exchange has to have these benefitsOut of Pocket MaximumsMaximums– On average Deductibles will be around $2,000/$4,000 (Silver Level). However, it can be higher on Bronze. All plans cannot exceed $6,400 (single) for a Maximum Out Of PocketMetal Plans and AV - On the Exchanges, there are going to be at least four tiers of benefits, the so-called “precious metal” plans, defined as plans with 60%-70%-80%-90% actuarial values for Bronze-Silver-Gold-Platinum plans. Applying the definition of “actuarial value” literally, this means that one would expect Bronze plans to cover 60% of the medical expenses for those on that plan. What about these metallic plans and “AV”
- The purpose is to do all of these things……it creates a new playing field for the consumer where…Is it easy to find? No, it will be confusing because…..
- It is important to remember the purpose o the new marketplace….
- SO why us?
