DISCUSSION Why is it misleading to use the medical loss ratio (MLR) as an indicator of a health plan’s efficiency and quality of care? What scenarios would produce a high MLR, yet not provide high-quality care? Alternatively, when would a low MLR be aligned with high-quality care? In your opinion, what is the best way to eliminate the problem of adverse selection? What makes it the best approach? Copyright © 2015 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives.

SUMMARY The ACA made a number of changes affecting the insurance market, particularly the individual market: State health insurance exchanges were established. Four types of health plans are available on the exchanges. Federal subsidies are provided to those with low income. The preexisting-condition exclusion was eliminated. An individual mandate was imposed. Employees are able to switch jobs without fear that they will be denied insurance. Copyright © 2015 Foundation of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Not for sale.

SUMMARY (CONTINUED) Critics of the ACA claim that imposing a penalty for not buying insurance will increase adverse selection. Without young people in the risk pool, premiums will sharply rise. Requiring a modified form of community rating, mandated expanded benefits, and new taxes on insurers will raise premiums for the young. Increased premiums will reduce the demand for insurance by those who believe that paying the penalty tax is less expensive than being insured.

SUMMARY (CONTINUED) To protect themselves from likely adverse selection, insurers are offering narrow provider networks; using less costly hospitals; and imposing large coinsurance rate for using non- network providers. Mandated minimum MLRs will have unintended consequences, but the full effects of the ACA’s regulations will not be known for several years.
