ACA fixes would lower premiums, improve access to coverage, analysis finds
A new analysis from Oliver Wyman has found Affordable Care Act stabilization bills that would fund cost-sharing reduction payments for two years and provide $10 billion for state reinsurance programs would reduce premiums by over 40% in the individual market and increase the number of insured Americans by 3.2 million. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who co-sponsored one of the measures, cited the findings as he defended the legislation against criticism.
