 USA Today reported this week that Michigan and California will be late in setting up their high-risk pools to cover those with pre-existing conditions. We had already written about how Illinois would be late in setting up the program, which was supposed to be in place across the country by July 1.

A Rocky Start for The High-Risk Pool in Illinois?

We have written previously on this blog about the importance of a smooth implementation of the new high-risk pool to cover those with pre-existing conditions. The temporary pool serves as a bridge to cover those who haven't been able to get covered until more substantive reforms go into effect in 2014. Expanding coverage in the near term is a big part of trying to sell health reform.

Medical Loss Ratios: Where Implementation is Key

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010 - 16:17

There are numerous cases in the health reform law where Congress decided to give regulators the leeway on the specifics of implementation to achieve the desired policy result. One of the most important examples of this is the impementation of so-called medical loss ratios. The success of the individual insurance market, in this case, will depend on how HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius decides to define the ratio requirement, which goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2011.

Thursday, June 3, 2010 - 07:35
In April, this blog raised questions about whether the $5 billion set aside in the health care reform bill for a high-risk pool would be sufficient to cover all of those who have been unable to get coverage for at least six months because of a pre-existing condition.

Staffing the Health Care Overhaul

The health reform law requires the US Department of Health and Human Services to go well beyond the important job of managing Medicare, Medicaid, and other government-sponsored health programs. The law calls upon HHS to set up a new high-risk pool, review insurance company rate increases, and provide assistance to states setting up Insurance Exchanges where people can buy coverage and receive federal subsidies.

A good story in Tuesday's New York Times dissects the new health reform law into what it means for young adults (ages 19-29), a group that makes up about a third of the nation’s uninsured population of 46 million.
