Last week I was interviewed by Dmitri Sotus on WTOP's "To Your Health" about the state of competition in the ACA marketplaces.
Recent news reports have highlighted rising premiums and plan exit in the ACA marketplaces. United Healthcare has announced they will no longer offer marketplace plans in most of the 34 states where they had previously participated. Based on early insurer filings, three states may only have one insurance carrier offering marketplace plans during open enrollment this fall. Are these reports a sign that the marketplaces are unsustainable? Or are they a sign that the markets are working to make plans compete on price as intended?
Listen to find out and to get a preview of our June issue.
