Worst Case Scenario?
Austin Frakt PhD thinks:
“I’ve long argued that the nightmare scenario for the insurance companies is that the mandate gets struck down, but the rest of the law stands. After all, if we force guaranteed issue and community ratings, but remove the mandate, then we stand the risk of adverse selection and gaming”.
What about you?

Supreme Court Healthcare Challenge Begins
By now, all ME-P readers know that today begins arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court in the landmark healthcare law case. This case will determine not only the fate of Obama’s signature legislation and the future of the healthcare industry, but it will also determine the powers of Congress to regulate commerce and greatly influence the Presidential election.
It’s a big deal that will most likely be decided in June. Stay tuned.

UPDATE 2016
These are the 4 major groups who are left out of the ACA:
1. People who are eligible but can’t afford the premiums. Among this group are the self-employed workers, retirees younger than 65 and those whose employers don’t offer insurance. The KFF estimates that 3 million Americans fall into this group.
2. People who can’t afford the insurance offered by their employers. While most large employers subsidize the cost of health insurance for employees and often for dependents, some small employers offer insurance at full cost or charge dependents more. If the insurance is offered, those employees and their families can’t get financial help with marketplace plans. About 4.5 million uninsured Americans fall into this group, according to the KFF analysis.
3. People who don’t get Medicaid but don’t make enough to qualify for the ACA. In the 19 states that opted against expanding Medicaid, an individual must earn at least $11,880 a year to be eligible for marketplace coverage with subsidies. Someone who can’t work at all, perhaps because of an illness or unemployment, would not qualify. The KFF estimates that about 2.6 million people fall into this group in those 19 states.
4. Undocumented immigrants. Those who are not citizens, legal permanent residents or otherwise lawfully present are not eligible to buy marketplace plans, even at full price. That accounts for about 5.4 million uninsured people.
