This webcast will explore the evolution of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) markets, which were once fraught with challenges but received a significant boost through subsidy enhancements, the defunding of cost-sharing reductions (CSRs), stronger state rating compliance, and temporary changes to subsidy parameters. As ACA enrollment now reaches more robust levels and urgent instability issues have been addressed, the focus shifts to the structural elements still impacting the plan and enrollment dynamics.

The discussion will address how these lingering structural elements result in inefficient coverage outcomes—ultimately increasing the taxpayer cost of enrolling new individuals—while also driving down the quality of available health plans, with narrower provider networks as one key example. Mr. Fann will reference two key research reports he co-authored for the Paragon Health Institute, diving into the systemic issues with ACA exchanges and offering valuable insights on what needs to be improved moving forward.

This webcast will provide a critical examination of the ACA's ongoing challenges and offer recommendations for achieving a more sustainable and effective system.
