发帖数: 61690 | 3 The White House is giving $22 million to help states push back against steep
premium hikes proposed by health insurers this year.
The new ObamaCare grants are intended to boost the built-in protection
against premium hikes that most states already have in place, known as "rate
review."

Premiums are expected to rise by an average of 11 percent in most parts of
the country in fiscal year 2017, according to an alarming report by the
Kaiser Family Foundation released Wednesday.
The Obama administration is under pressure to keep premium hikes in check
this year: Most customers will get the first notice of their new premium
costs in November, just before Election Day.
All but a handful of states have some form of “rate review” – a system
that requires health insurers to justify rate increases to the state
insurance departments. In some states, health officials have the power to
reject “unreasonable” increases.
With the new funding, state health departments can hire outside insurance
experts to dig deeper into the proposed rates.
"State departments of insurance are vital to the oversight of health
insurance plans. These departments are responsible for making sure that
premiums are reasonable and justified, ensuring company solvency, and
protecting consumers,” Kevin Counihan, CEO of the Health Marketplace, wrote
in a statement Wednesday.
Under ObamaCare, insurers are required to make formal arguments for any
increase above 10 percent, though the federal government has no power to
ultimately reject those rates.
Still many health experts say rate reviews may not be effective in 2017,
since many insurance companies have proof this year that the marketplace is
hurting their bottom line.
“There are serious issues in the exchange right now that are not
addressable by rate review,” Dan Mendelson, founder and CEO of Avalere
Health, said in a recent interview.
Mendelson said that state health insurance departments are most concerned
about keeping insurance companies afloat and may have no choice but to
approve double-digit increases this year because of the still-shaky
marketplace.
“In a world where we are experiencing adverse selection, rate review is not
going to be that effective in bringing costs down,” Mendelson said.
Several states, like Connecticut and Maryland, have been strong regulators
of insurance premiums.
Jim Wadleigh, who leads the Connecticut marketplace called Access Health CT,
hired an outside actuary last year to compile more precise data about an
insurance market to help prove companies like Aetna don't need to raise
premiums as much as they thought.
