We’re almost halfway through and every measure points to our most successful Open Enrollment ever. That’s not to minimize the challenges we currently face in the public policy arena. There will be debates at the state and federal level on the future of exchanges and healthcare reform. As a state-based Marketplace formed to provide a “Colorado solution,” we will be keeping an eye on both levels and we take note that some of the talk in Congress now suggests turning more authority over to state governments.
This process can be expected to take time but the shape of policy changes should start to become clearer when state and federal legislative bodies begin meeting. Here are some dates you might want to be aware of:
- Congress reconvenes Jan 3, 2017.
- The Colorado Legislature begins work Jan. 11, 2017.
- The president is inaugurated Jan. 20, 2017.
- Health insurance companies in Colorado normally file their 2018 individual and small group plans and rates in May for the following year.
