9 The Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act IN THE NEWS
10 OBAMA ON OBAMACARE The ACA is doing exactly what it was intended to do President Obama
11 CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC EXCHANGE Carriers Leave the Exchange 1/3 of States Only Have One Provider Option At Least One Carrier Exiting the Exchange
12 HEALTH INSURANCE CARRIERS LEAVING? IN A NUT SHELL ADVERSE SELECTION Not Enough Healthy Enrollees Signed Up to Counteract the Cost of Providing Care for OLDER, LESS HEALTHY ENROLLEES INITIAL EXCHANGE PREMIUM RATES Set Lower Due to RISK CORRIDOR (Umbrella of Protection for Carriers) Provided by the Government for 3 years By 2018 Carriers to Calculate Premiums Based on ACTUAL RISK POOLS instead of Estimated Enrollment
13 MARKETPLACE ENROLLMENT BY METAL LEVEL BRONZE PLANS AS OF MARCH 31, 2016 Ohio 71,050
14 MARKETPLACE ENROLLMENT BRONZE LEVEL PLANS IN 2017 Premiums will Increase Across ALL Tiers for the 2017 Plan Year On Average, Bronze Plans will Increase by about 21% = $311 for a Single 30-Year-Old Nonsmoker Compared to $258 in 2016 Average Deductible will Increase to Just Under $6,100
15 OBAMACARE Craziest Thing in the World The people who are getting killed on this deal are small business people & individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies because they re not organized. They don t have any bargaining power with insurance companies so they re getting whacked. Bill Clinton
16 OBAMACARE Craziest Thing in the World So you've got this crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care and then the people who are out there busting it -- sometimes 60 hours a week -- wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. It's the craziest thing in the world. Bill Clinton
17 What to Expect Next?

27 NEWER & FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS COVERAGE FOR TRANSGENDERED INDIVIDUALS ADOPTION ASSISTANCE SURROGACY COMPREHENSIVE INFERTILITY AND ADVANCED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY (ART) PARENTAL LEAVE & PRIMARY CARE / SECONDARY CARE LEAVE
28 STRATEGIC CONSIDERATIONS Why is Obamacare NOT Working?
29 WHY IS OBAMACARE NOT WORKING? Insurance Is A Transfer Of Risk Guarantee Issue of Coverage & No Pre-Existing Condition Exclusions Artificially Suppressed Pricing (Pricing Corridor, Reinsurance Fee, Insurer Fee) Overregulation (Now Impacting Wellness) Continual Cost-Shifting to Employer-Based Plans (Becoming Unaffordable for Employers & Employees) Increasing High Deductible Health Plans (Unaffordable Bronze Plan)
30 WHY IS OBAMACARE NOT WORKING? Insurance Is A Transfer Of Risk NO Change in Fee-for-Service Payment Model (Increasing RX = Mental Health Needs = Increasing RX) NO Standardization for Access Across State Lines (Essential Health Benefits) NO Enforcement of Individual Mandate Penalty NO Comprehensive Tort Reform (Continuation of Defensive Medicine) NO Incentive for Improving Individual Health
31 POST-ELECTION What to Expect NEXT? Repeal Bill -- VERY LIKELY Republicans Need to Tell their Constituents that they Repealed Obamacare Even If Provisions Remain / Extensive Transition Windows Reconciliation? Congressional Procedure for Tax & Spend Legislation Only ( Yet Used Broadly). Prevents Filibustering in the Senate Transitional High Risk Pool? Coverage for Chronic Conditions Tax Reform? Impact to the Tax Exemption for Employer-Sponsored Health Plans? Fairness in the Tax Code for Individual Health Plans
32 FIRST 100 DAYS OF PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP'S ADMINISTRATION REPEAL & REPLACE OBAMACARE ALL SPECULATION ACA Provisions Expected to WITHSTAND a Repeal Bill Ban on Pre-existing Condition Coverage Exclusions Adult Children Remaining on a Parent s Plan until Age 26 Lifetime Limits on Coverage Medicaid Expansion ACA Provisions Expected to be Repealed OR Phased-Out Federal Exchanges -- Phased-Out with a Power-Shift to States Premium Tax Credits (Subsidies) Phased-Out to Lower Thresholds Health Insurance Tax To be Repealed Cadillac Tax To be Repealed Individual & Employer Coverage Mandate To be Repealed Essential Health Benefits Fewer Requirements Age Rating Bands -- Larger Premium Bands May be Permissible
