Tilleman Quoted on Future of PPACA Exchanges

Attorney Morgan Tilleman was quoted in a Life Health Pro article, “5 PPACA Exchange Watcher Views: Where Are We Now?” on April 27, 2016. The article discussed what it would mean for the industry if and when UnitedHealth Group, Inc. pulls out of dozens of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) public health insurance exchange markets. Tilleman said it is too soon to judge how profitable PPACA exchanges can or cannot be. He was quoted saying, “If you look across the industry, folks who are on the exchanges are asking for and getting pretty substantial rate increases. That’s going to be part of the pathway to profitability on the exchanges.” Tilleman also said growing enrollments is critical and that companies should target healthier people.
