Health Reform Updates

In an ahead-of-print article, Katie Keith writes that enrollment in
Marketplace coverage remains high

as we await new rules from the Biden administration and track No
Surprises Act litigation.

Keith reports that 14.5 million people enrolled in the Affordable Care
Act (ACA) Marketplace during the 2022 open enrollment period, including
nearly 3.1 million new consumers. Overall, enrollment increased by 21
percent relative to 2021.

In her breakdown of litigation over the No Surprises Act, Keith explains
the act, a related interim final, and legal challenges facing the
measure.

Several of the lawsuits are currently on hold, and the Biden
administration has indicated that it will issue a final arbitration rule
by next month.

"This final rule could rescind, replace, or readopt the provisions set
aside by the court. The final rule will likely affect the timeline of
current litigation and could trigger future lawsuits," Keith reports.

For more updates about the ACA and health reform, sign up for the Health
Reform newsletter.

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, authors write about the "Georgia
Pathways" waiver, which would extend Medicaid coverage to people earning
up to 100 percent of the federal poverty level provided they pay
premiums and fulfill work requirements.

Nicole Huberfeld examines the tension between state and federal power in
Medicaid
,
as the Georgia Pathways waiver does not fulfill the terms of the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansion.

Sara Rosenbaum and coauthors write about the section 1115 powers

of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Section 1115 of the Social Security Act gives the HHS secretary the
power to allow a state to deviate from provisions of federal Medicaid
law. Rosenbaum and authors inquire about when 1115 Medicaid expansion
experiments should be approved.
