Health Care Reform

The administration mysteriously stopped issuing enrollment reports as soon as open enrollment closed, leaving us to guess whats happening from insurer statements and partial data.

In the first three months of 2014, 18.4 percent of adults under age 65 lacked health insurance, down from 20.4 percent last year.

As many as 400 people among 2,500 who signed up for a Sept 10 job fair in Atlantic City asked about enrolling in health coverage under PPACA.

Starting in 2018, the PPACA Cadillac plan tax is supposed to impose a 40 percent tax on the issuers of expensive health benefits packages.

The exchanges began offering the update to some SEP applicants during the summer.

So while the Senate casts a meaningless, however principled, vote, federal spending could balloon by as much as $120 billion back in the real world.
