HEALTH PROGRAMS
JOHN GORMANEXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
NOVEMBER 15, 2016
A Presentation to the Texas Association of Health Plans
Copyright © 2016 Gorman Health Group, LLC
• Government health programs represent sole growth opportunity
• Likely election result = Medicare Advantage, Medicaid mostly OK. ObamaCare is toast. “Replace” = ???
• Duals, Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) exploding
• Disruptive growth, share aggregation, and new entrants
• Star Ratings, risk adjustment drive the market, and bar is rising
• “A Darwinian and Edisonian moment”
CUT TO THE CHASE!

TRUMP HEALTH PRIORITIES
• Repeal the Affordable Care Act• Make individual health insurance tax
deductible• Sale of insurance across state lines• Expand Health Savings Accounts• Provide price transparency• Allow importation of drugs• Block grant Medicaid
Copyright © 2016 Gorman Health Group, LLC
••Gradually sunsets ACA••Preserves subsidies,
Medicaid expansion until replacement decided on
Budget Reconciliation
••Repeal ASAP, delay effect••“Replace” consensus will
take time
Selective “Repeal”, Gradual
“Replace”

What Probably Stays• Pre-existing conditions ban• Lifetime coverage cap • Adult dependents on parents’
plans until 26• Medicaid expansion• State Innovation Grants• CMS Innovation Center

insurer taxes, etc.• Limits on HSAs• Essential Health Benefits rules• Independent Payment Advisory
Board (IPAB)
