Health Care Reform

The IRS, EBSA and CMS are asking for ideas about how to keep old plans out from under ACA rules.

Officials from seven pharmaceutical giants are scheduled to appear before the Senate Finance Committee to discuss soaring drug prices.

Spending on drugs will increase only about 4.6 percent this year, compared to a 4.8 percent increase in overall health costs.

CMS projects that health care's share of the national GDP will stand at 19.4 percent by 2027, and will total nearly $6 trillion.

The Kentucky report is the latest to examine a controversial practice known as spread pricing, in which PBMs pay drugstores one price for a treatment while charging another to clients.

Under federal law, people are not supposed to use ACA premium tax credit subsidies and have Medicare coverage at the same time.
