Health Care Reform

The pandemic's toll on state budgets and safety nets may sway holdout states to finally embrace Medicaid expansion.

Models suggest a single-payer system could bolster‌ ‌provider‌ ‌revenues‌ ‌for‌ ‌clinical‌ ‌services‌ ‌and‌ ‌eliminate‌ ‌almost‌ ‌all‌ ‌copayments‌ ‌and‌ ‌deductibles.

The government could lift the ACA premium subsidy income cap and pay 85% of unemployed people's COBRA premiums.

The Biden administration estimates about 9 million people outside the system are eligible for premium tax credit subsidies.

The country is on track for an "unstoppable transformation" in how health care is accessed and provided.

This year, there is new activity almost everywhere, with only a small handful of states seeing no change.
