The report shows that per-enrollee
medical costs in the ACA individual market were essentially flat, even as costs
in the broader insurance market continued to rise.
“The Affordable Care Act has
expanded access to coverage for millions of Americans by reforming the
individual market,” said Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell. “Today’s news shows the
continuing strength of the Marketplace as a source of affordable health
coverage for millions of Americans.”
Additionally, a new blog was also
released discussing ongoing efforts to strengthen the Marketplace and plans to
explore new options to modify the risk adjustment program.
