Dear John,

Affordable Care Act Updates
Eye on Health Reform
In the latest in our Eye on Health Reform series, Katie Keith updates readers on all things Affordable Care Act (ACA), including:

  • The Supreme Court’s ruling to uphold the law in California v. Texas by a resounding 7-2 decision
  • The Biden administration's first proposed rule on Marketplace coverage
  • Implementation of the No Surprises Act banning many surprise medical bills
  • Continuing rise in Marketplace enrollment due to the broad COVID-19 special enrollment period and enhanced premium tax credits under the American Rescue Plan Act
  • Federal request for Georgia to submit more information to assess the state’s Section 1332 waiver
  • The Department of Health and Human Services’ announcement of funding for navigators and state-based Marketplaces

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Marc Cohen and Stuart Butler discuss how the risky market conditions of long-term care insurance have left most people without an effective way to plan for the possibility of heavy long-term services and supports costs.
