More Health Insurance Changes Ahead in 2018

Look for new options...



With attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act on hold, the Trump Administration is stepping up efforts to overhaul the health insurance market by loosening regulations, Donna Rosato writes on consumerreports.org.

The administration has proposed a raft of changes that would expand individual insurance offerings, allow states more flexibility in administering Medicaid, and provide more health insurance options for small businesses and self-employed people, Rosato added.

The latest move came Thursday, when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) issued guidelines that for the first time would allow states to impose work requirements on non-disabled adults receiving Medicaid. Though most able-bodied adults on Medicaid already work, new requirements could make it tougher for people to qualify or remain in the program, she noted.
