"'It's going to take a year or more to fully straighten out the messes that are involved in implementing this,' [said MIT economist Jonathan Gruber]. 'That does not mean it's a bad idea.

"In April, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments ... [on] whether the [ACA's] requirement that insurers cover preventive care at no cost to patients is constitutional.... If SCOTUS rules in favor of Braidwood's position, ... some people with employer-sponsored health insurance would pay substantial amounts for certain preventive services, but employers would not get huge savings due to relatively low spending on preventive care[.]" [Braidwood Mgmt, Inc. v. Becerra, No. 23-10326 (5th Cir. Jun. 21, 2024; cert. pet. granted Jan. 10, 2025)]

"For years, employers have been seeking to control the rising cost of employee health insurance. Now they have a new way to limit health care spending: the public and private health insurance exchanges.... The move to defined-contribution plans may make it difficult for health care journalists to track employers' health insurance spending strategies in the coming years because employers likely will be reluctant to report how much they allot to each worker and retiree."

"The ACA neither was designed nor expected to solve every problem in the nation's strained mental health system. The shortage of providers -- or more specifically the shortage of providers willing to accept the relatively low fees many insurers and government health care plans pay -- is a persistent obstacle. But it did create a starting point."

"First is an infographic slide show from the Heritage Foundation.... [which] portrays the federal health law critically but the material is presented in a way that's quite useful ... The second graphic [is] a one-page chart.... from the Deloitte Center for Health solutions and it identifies 'The top ten myths about the health care reform debate.'" [Ed. note: article includes links to these two graphics including an analysis of their findings.]

"The co-ops are particularly important today because five of the largest health insurers could soon be reduced to three if Anthem acquires Cigna and Aetna merges with Humana. In practice, however, co-ops have struggled. Only a co-op in Maine, Community Health Options, has turned a profit. What's the secret to CHO's success? There are several."
