“Medicare for All Act of 2019”
April 30, 2019
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) April 18 issued a final rule implementing the standards governing health plan issuers and the Health Insurance Marketplaces for 2020.
A federal district judge yesterday vacated a Department of Labor final rule that modified the definition of “employer” under federal law such that more individuals, including sole proprietors, are eligible to participate in association health plans based on geography or industry.
About 11.4 million people actively or automatically enrolled in a health plan through HealthCare.gov or a state-based exchange during open enrollment for 2019.
Enrollment in private health insurance plans remained concentrated among a small number of issuers in 2015 and 2016
Creating a government-run, Medicare-like option on the individual health insurance exchanges could negatively affect patient access to care and reduce hospital payments by nearly $800 billion over 10 years.
More than 8.4 million people selected or were automatically re-enrolled in a health insurance plan through HealthCare.gov during the 2019 open enrollment period.
