Market Stability in budget reconciliation legislation
HR 1628, the American Health Care Act (AHCA) and the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BRCA) will result in a large number of individuals covered under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with preexisting conditions to lose the necessary coverage to maintain their health.  MCHS recommended opposition to the AHCA, BRCA, and any changes to the coverage afforded by the ACA. The changes proposed under the AHCA and BRCA will undermine what works in the ACA without improving on the circumstances, coverage and care of Wisconsin residents in the individual and small group market.   

We urged Congress to take steps to improve and repair health coverage in the areas where the ACA was falling short, and to also maintain the gains that the ACA has provided to assure that no one, especially those near poverty, fall through the cracks:

Stabilizing the market - Regulatory relief offered earlier this year by Secretary Tom Price at HHS gave health insurers tools to better manage their ACA individual population, but those reforms didnt go far enough to fully stabilize the market. We believe that the suggestions below will improve the ACA and ensure coverage for vulnerable populations.
a. Cost sharing reduction payments - SHPs ACA individual population is heavily reliant on the cost sharing reduction (CSR) subsides paid monthly to help our members lower their out-of-pocket costs. Nearly half of the total enrollment in SHPs ACA products is eligible and enrolled in this important program. We recommend that Congress should fully fund CSR payments to health insurance carriers for 2018 and beyond and allow states that have already reached their filing deadline to reopen carriers bids to allow for an adjustment to rates.
b. Extension of the reinsurance program - The transitional reinsurance program established by the ACA helped to hold down premiums in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Our Plans experience shows that premiums would have been nearly 20 percent higher in 2014 and 6 percent higher in 2015, had this program not been in effect. We recommend that Congress create a reinsurance program similar to the program that expired in 2017 to stabilize premiums in the ACA individual market for the long term.
c. Continuous coverage provision - The ACA provisions that provide for a three-month grace period and avoid tax penalties has created a perverse incentive for enrollees to stay insured for just enough time to avoid the penalty. We recommend that Congress should create a continuous enrollment provision or late enrollment penalty similar to Medicares Part B and Part D to incentivize 12 month enrollment in the ACA individual market.
d. Risk adjustment program enhancements - We recommend that HHS risk adjustment program should pay carriers a capitation for members whose risk scores exceed a certain predefined value. Lower-than-current future rate increases would reduce expenditures for the advanced premium tax credits.
e. Federal funding for enrollee outreach - Health insurance and the subsidies available to help area residents afford coverage is a complex and confusing topic. We recommend that navigator services should be re-instated and funds prioritized to rural areas for community outreach.

HR 1628 the Better Care Reconciliation Act -- MCHS  expressed reservations about the Better Care Reconciliation Act (BCRA) as  currently written. 

Challenges of serving rural Wisconsin . We serve about 1 million residents in our rural area Subsidization of health coverage for low income Wisconsinites has helped mainstream tens of thousands into traditional commercial coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. This has been vital to the health of our patients enabling us to educate patients and include them in prevention programs. 

Impact of the Better Care Reconciliation Act

-Tax credits are income based, but only up to 350% of the FPL versus 400% as in the ACA. The impact of this is significant to the population we serve.
-Cost sharing subsides are eliminated as of 2020. This will mean increases in out-of-pocket expenses for those under 250% of FPL of thousands of dollars.
-The benchmark plan will be lowered to 58% actuarial value (currently at 70%). That reduction will substantially lower the amount of tax credit people will be eligible for and will likely make most plans unaffordable for those under 250% FPL.

While the House of Representatives did acknowledge the divide between expansion and non-expansion states, the House-passed bill came up far short of providing true equity and fairness in the system. The Senate BCRA has not improved on the equity of the formula, and in the most basic analysis, taxes paid in Wisconsin will go to fund expansion in other States.  We asked for fairness for Medicaid payments throughout the States, including Wisconsin.","Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC),SENATE,Veterans Affairs, Dept of (VA)",,80000,0,0,2018-01-15T13:19:17.237000-05:00
