Health Insurers Warn of Market Turmoil as Trump Suspends Billions in Payments Source: New York Times The Trump administration said Saturday that it was suspending a program that pays billions of dollars to insurers to stabilize health insurance markets under the Affordable Care Act, a freeze that could increase uncertainty in the markets and drive up premiums this fall. Many insurers that enroll large numbers of unhealthy people depend on the “risk adjustment” payments, which are intended to reduce the incentives for insurers to seek out healthy consumers and shun those with chronic illnesses and other pre-existing conditions. “Any action to stop disbursements under the risk adjustment program will significantly increase 2019 premiums for millions of individuals and small-business owners, and could result in far fewer health plan choices,” said Justine G. Handelman, a senior vice president of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. “It will undermine Americans’ access to affordable care, particularly for those who need medical care the most.” Trump administration officials said they decided to suspend payments under the program because of a ruling in February in Federal District Court in New Mexico. The judge tossed out the formula used to calculate payments, finding that it was flawed.

spin_dry Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Already seeing public health systems running beyond capacity as private healthcare orgs encounter the uninsured. Emergency room admissions are up for minor stuff. Not sure if it’s a blip or a sign of things to come. One thing is certain, there is no health care solution that’s a priority by this administration Edited July 8, 2018 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted July 8, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 8, 2018 IT started with a lawsuit from coops that were forced to pay large insurance companies. The payments were driving the coops under. Look into it , you may change your mind on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
