Dive Brief:
The Affordable Care Act exchanges have gained solid footing despite threats and efforts to undermine the law from Washington over the past two years, according to a new Urban Institute report funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The paper by the left-leaning think tank showed examples of the stability, including more payers in the exchanges this year and modest premium increases. That followed a year when a handful of companies dropped out and the remaining payers increased premiums significantly.
Now, the individual mandate penalty is gone and short-term plans are an option for nearly all Americans, but payers have figured out how to make the exchanges profitable nonetheless.
