Report: Insurers ‘Lost a Lot of Money’ Selling Obamacare Plans

Posted by Raw Editor on October 14, 2015 in politics | ∞

Insurers lost at least 12 percent on Affordable Care Act plans in 2014, according to a new report.The author of the report, Brian Blase, a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, told The Daily Signal in an interview that the losses will mean higher premiums for consumers.He said that his estimate of 12 percent is “conservative.”Blase examined risk corridor data recently released by the Obama administration to calculate the losses. The temporary risk corridor program requires insurers whose premiums exceed expenses to pay a portion into the program and insurers whose expenses exceed premiums to receive funds in an attempt to minimize risk during the first three years of the law’s implementation.
