2 ACA IS FAILING Higher premiums and fewer options The percentage of workers at small firms receiving coverage through their employer has declined from nearly half in 2010 to about one-third in In 2018, more than 1,500 counties (nearly 50 percent of all counties) are projected to have only one option on their individual insurance exchanges, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. From 2013 to 2017, average premiums for individual health insurance plans have doubled, increasing by $2,928 according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

3 OBAMACARE IS FAILING Higher premiums and fewer options 500,000 fewer Americans enrolled in an Obamacare plan in 2017 compared to the prior year. Current exchange enrollment is 60% below what the Congressional Budget Office expected when the law took effect. 6.7 million Americans chose to pay the Obamacare penalty in 2015 rather than purchase insurance on the exchanges. 37% of penalized households made less than $25,000, and 79% of penalized households made less than $50,000

15 FOUR GOOD OPTIONS Medi- Share STM Health Care Access Plans Bundled benefits Follow ChuckRichards@sap_vmo

16 President Trump signed an Executive Order to reform the United States healthcare system to take the first steps to expand choices and alternatives to Obamacare plans and increase competition to bring down costs for consumers.

17 1. The order directs the Secretary of Labor to consider expanding access to Association Health Plans (AHPs), which could potentially allow American employers to form groups across State lines. 2. The order directs the Departments of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services to consider expanding coverage through low cost short-term limited duration insurance (STLDI). 3. The order also directs the agencies to consider expanding tax-free, employerfunded Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) to give employees greater flexibility and control of their health care costs.
