With a title loosely borrowed from a Chance the Rapper Monologue on Saturday Night Live, this session in the home of the nation's second-largest ACA marketplace will take a forward-looking approach to understanding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in its second decade under the current administration.
We will explore potential policy adjustments and regulatory reforms that could arise, including federal funding impacts, marketplace subsidies, waiver opportunities and the broader healthcare reform landscape. Additionally, we'll discuss how these changes might influence states, insurers, and healthcare consumers, with a focus on the operational and actuarial challenges that could emerge for the industry.
Key topics will include:
The impact of a second term under the current administration on ACA marketplace structure, subsidies, and regulations.
Potential challenges and opportunities for the ACA as it enters its second decade under new leadership.
How the current administration may be different than the previous term served.
Actuarial considerations and risk assessments related to changes in federal and state ACA policies.
The role of insurers, state regulators, and consumers in navigating the evolving healthcare landscape.
Join us as we explore the next chapter for the ACA, unpacking the policy, market, and actuarial implications of the evolving political and regulatory environment, and chart a path forward for the ACA in its second decade.
