Fitzgerald Quoted on Current State of Health Plan Subsidies

Partner Kevin Fitzgerald was quoted in a HealthLeaders Magazine article, “Premiums Likely to Rise, More Insurers Will Leave Exchanges,” covering the uncertainty of subsidies, employee health benefits and viability of the individual market through the implementation of the Affordable Care Act under the Trump administration.

Fitzgerald explained that “uncertainty about whether ‘repeal and replace’ would pass in some form has merely been replaced by new uncertainty around cost-sharing reductions and profitability … without cost-sharing reduction payments, there will likely be no sustainable individual market.”
