Even in a Pandemic, Trump and Republicans Want to Take Americans’ Health Insurance

During last week’s presidential debate, President Donald Trump was asked about his plans for health care reform, given the court challenge to the Affordable Care Act that his administration is supporting. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case, California v. Texas, on November 10, one week after the election. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the Trump administration and 20 Republican-led states challenging the ACA, then it will cease to exist—and tens of millions of Americans could lose health coverage almost instantly.

Trump has spent much of his presidency talking about how he’s going to replace the ACA with something better. Yet that hasn’t happened. Efforts to repeal the ACA and replace it with a slimmed-down GOP version failed in 2017, and there hasn’t been any legislative traction since. Trump’s recent executive order that he claims would “protect pre-existing conditions” lacks the necessary legal firepower—such

Explained: Here’s how scores will be calculated in the new colour-coded health insurance plans

Health insurance policies will soon have a colour-coding system of green, orange or red to show whether a product is simple, moderate or complex.

Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has said that a score will be assigned to each product, depending on the product features and the type of covers. For customers, this is meant to reflect whether the product is simple or complicate to understand.

Green is a colour which all health insurers will desire to get as this means that the product is simple.

Factors like number of optional covers, percentage of co-pay, waiting period, permanent exclusions, number of treatments included, and simplicity of terms will be considered for deciding on a score for the product.

Rates for individual coverage will increase overall by 0.2 percent and rates for small-group coverage, such as small businesses, will decrease by 0.5 percent, according to the D.C. Department of Insurance, Securities and Banking, which reviews and approves rates for the online marketplace.

The 2021 rates are a “big win for D.C. residents in making health care more affordable and accessible,” said William Borden, a professor of medicine and health policy at George Washington University. He pointed to how people have struggled to keep up with rising health insurance premiums, even before the novel coronavirus took hold.

“Having health insurance is clearly associated with better health outcomes, and so if there was going to be a sharp increase in insurance premiums that really could be devastating, especially as individuals, small businesses are already struggling financially,” Borden said.

Insurers initially asked for rate increases as high as 30 percent, but most

Justin McCurry retired in 2013. He and his wife decided at the beginning of their marriage that they wanted to quit working while they were young.

So the couple ran some calculations, made a budget and set out to save 50% to 80% of their income every month. After about 10 years, McCurry was 33 years old and the couple had saved the nearly $1.3 million he estimated they needed to retire.

McCurry left his job as an engineer, and his wife retired from her career as a financial analyst not long after. Leaving their employers meant that the couple needed a way to provide health insurance for themselves and their three children.

The average health insurance plan costs nearly $5,500 per year for an individual and close to $14,000 for a family, according to a 2020 study by eHealth.

Living on a fixed income, McCurry hoped to pay much
