Premium Hikes In California May Be Offset By ACA Subsidies.
The Wall Street Journal (3/29, Mathews, Subscription Publication) reports that a new report written by the actuarial consulting firm Milliman for Covered California, the agency charged with creating California's new health-insurance marketplace, says premiums for Californians who purchase their own insurance could be significantly higher next year due to the Affordable Care Act, but government subsidies will compensate for the difference for lower-income people. According to the report, currently insured people who do not qualify for subsidies could see a premium increase of 30% on average.
