Nevada, buckle up. Over the next few months, youll learn how much your health insurance premiums will go up for next year. The early evidence isnt good the percentage increase could be in double digits.
But thats nothing compared with what youll face in 2017. In May, I released a comprehensive study showing how the Affordable Care Act will likely play out over the next few years. The diagnosis isnt good.
First, the short version. In two years, the ACAs structural problems will lead to substantial premium increases. Once that happens, Nevadans will likely leave the insurance market in droves. Theyll have little choice they wont be able to afford health insurance because federal subsidies wont keep up with the rapid price increases. Within a decade, this could swell the ranks of the uninsured by nearly 11 percent.
This isnt baseless speculation. I reached this conclusion by using a peer-reviewed economic model published in several health journals. It was funded by both private and government sources, including the Department of Health and Human Services, and has been cited by multiple Supreme Court justices in ACA-related rulings.
But why wont this happen until 2017? Because thats the year when the Affordable Care Act goes into full effect and certain temporary provisions begin to sunset. The changes will affect all plans sold for 2017 and beyond.
