Health Insurance Market Reforms
NAHU believes that Americans deserve to see what can be done at the federal level to provide better access to individual and small-employer group coverage for everyone who needs it, without taking away the ability of states to innovate in ways that are appropriate for their citizens. Great care needs to be taken when implementing market reforms on a national level so that coverage is affordable. No matter how "fair" a market-reform idea might seem on its surface, it's not at all "fair" if it also prices people out of the marketplace. Healthy Access to Individual Market Coverage NAHU has developed ten specific policy recommendations to ensure that all people, regardless of their health status and pre-existing medical conditions, have the ability to purchase affordable private individual coverage. Such requirements could either be enacted as part of a transition process to complete guaranteed issuance of coverage or they could be stand-alone requirements.
