Health insurance

Yes and no. Patients have avoided millions of surprise bills, but a plan to cut wider health care spending has seen mixed results.

Almost a third of all working adults in the United States are carrying some kind of medical debt — that’s about 15% of all U.S. households.

Plans are cheaper because of pandemic-era subsidies, and millions who lost Medicaid coverage have found their way to ACA marketplaces.

Instead of losing it at the end of the year, with a letter of medical necessity — which a new service will help you get — you can spend it on nonalcoholic beverages, gym memberships, even meal kit delivery.

The Urban Institute has released a new report saying that roughly 400,000 veterans under 65 go without coverage. But expanded Medicaid could help.

The government has extended pandemic-era subsidies for the Affordable Care Act marketplace until 2025 — and even higher-income families are eligible.

Annual family premiums for employer coverage went up an average of 7% this year, according to a survey out today from KFF.

Bright HealthCare and Friday Health Plans were part of a new class of health insurance startups, but both have imploded in recent months.

Patient numbers have bounced back to prepandemic levels.

During the COVID public health emergency, states couldn’t kick anyone off Medicaid. Now, that continuous enrollment is coming to an end.
