The President announced yesterday that some individual policyholders and small groups (2-50) may be allowed to remain with their current 2013 policy for an additional year. The "fix" may "allow" health insurance companies to delay moving current benefit plans to the ACA formatted benefit plans with "community" rates beginning with their 2014 anniversary date. 

The dictate from the President did not provide any details, which should be forthcoming from HHS.  Once the rules are disclosed, the state insurance departments and carriers will be working to determine how best to comply and implement the latest rules.

 
The primary goal of the private marketplace remains maintaining access to quality, affordable health care for their members. The carriers are making every effort to ensure there are no disruptions in health insurance for their existing members. Once the new options are available we will reach out to our consumers who may be affected as a result of this change.
