Senate Bill Could Push Plans More to Employer, Medicare Market

Jeremy Earl said that insurers will have little flexibility no matter what happens with the Senate Republicans’ healthcare reform bill, and plans that are heavily invested in the Medicaid managed care business model are likely to experience setbacks if the bill passes. He added, “If it does pass, the funding for cost-sharing reductions for 2018 and 2019 is one of the big goals for plans that have already committed to the exchanges for those years.”
