Greg Fann returns for more ACA discussion. He explains why he favors further improvements to ACA rather than destroying it by offering a public option designed to pull enrollees from the individual market. Greg explains how a “Platinum Public Option” could provide a new option to certain enrollees while giving politicians a win in a way that does not threaten the health and stability of the individual market. Further information can be found in Greg’s latest article, “Actuarial Clarity for Building on the ACA: Let’s 86 the 8.5% Myth and Other False Narratives” available at www.descant.info/blog.
Greg continues on his quest to challenge misinformation with actuarial acumen and a deep understanding of the mechanics of the ACA. He points out how both sides mischaracterize the impacts of ACA changes made in the Trump administration and proposed in the Biden administration. He says we must be willing to do a little math if we are to understand ACA mechanics and how changes affect people differently by age and income. Greg does not see the level of miscommunication declining in the near future, so let’s follow his example by being willing to do a little math so that we are not susceptible to ACA misinformation.
