The ACA’s cost-controlling measures have fallen on hard times this week. Patients are revolting against one measure, and providers haven’t done very well with another.
Three new studies show employers responding to the ACA by cutting jobs, moving jobs to part time, or passing on new costs to workers. So much for “Affordable.”
Yet another lawsuit shows why the ACA is increasingly unpopular: 33 consumers are suing a big California insurer for restricting their networks on the ACA after canceling their plans.
Double-digit rate hikes will hit several states as a result of a botched Affordable Care Act “fix.” But the bigger problem remains: even single-digit hikes above inflation will eventually drive us bankrupt.
Florida Blue will raise its premiums for ACA plans by an average of 17.6 percent next year, after at least four years of increases of over 11 percent. The Affordable Care Act is doing nothing to address underlying factors making our system more unsustainable every year.
California’s insurance commissioner claims that ACA premiums have spiked by as much as 88 percent in his state. The ACA may be insuring more people, but a broader view of its effects presents a much less pretty picture.
Healthcare.gov may now be easier to use, but the back end of the site is still incomplete. Insurers are still waiting for an accurate count of new enrollees and getting nervous as enrollment season approaches again.
While the President and his team are busy spiking the football over the ACA’s success, another wave of insurance cancellations is coming. How hard will it hit?
A new study suggests that relatively few previously uninsured Americans became insured through the ACA exchanges. The one metric supporters use to defend the law is looking shaky.
The Obama administration announced yesterday that six million people have signed for for insurance through the federal ACA exchange. The only problem with this number: it’s meaningless on its own.
