States in Transition
• Four types of marketplaces: which type of marketplace exists in your state?

• The ACA is a broad law that’s not always applied broadly

Law in Transition

• The status of people in three other states—Oregon, Nevada and New Mexico—is unclear
• Effects on the employer mandate
Disrupting Business as
Usual• Health care insurance goes retail
• Competitive over quality and price• Industry more responsive to customers
• Higher quality, lower cost care
• Companies pursuing health care partnerships
