In some states, clients find insurance costs are at a premium

Cost is the top concern for many clients inquiring about the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In some states, health insurance premiums are rising, while others are experiencing a reduction.

Several factors create this cost disparity, as reviewed by Chris Hennessey in the video. The ACA may cause higher or lower premiums depending upon:

  • If the state was already highly regulated prior to the passage of ACA
  • The size and age of state population
  • The level of competition that exists on the state’s health-insurance exchange
