To Our Valued Stakeholders,<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019re still more than a month away from seeing final rates and plans for next year but the Kaiser Family Foundation this week released its annual review of proposed rates<\/a> for the second lowest-cost silver plan in 21 major cities. Denver\u2019s 12 percent increase for a 40-year-old non-smoker \u2013 to $352 month \u2013 was among the lowest. If that 40-year-old individual has an annual income of $30,000, his or her net premium would drop 3 percent \u2013 \u00a0to $201 a month.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good illustration of the impact the tax credit can have for families and individuals when rates continue to rise. We have seen the net premium for many of our customers go down year to year. It does not address the disproportionately higher rates in our rural communities and the impact of rate increases on those whose income is above eligibility levels, where we know we have work to do.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s comparison comes at a time when the level of uncertainty hanging over the marketplace is higher than ever. Again, the Kaiser Family Foundation is helpful with this brief<\/a> on the current outlook for state marketplaces.<\/p>\n

In Recent News<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I was happy for the opportunity Thursday to offer my perspective in a Colorado Public Radio interview<\/a> on the stability of our Marketplace and how tax credits can cushion our customers from rate increases.<\/p>\n

Liberals and conservatives getting together to repair the Affordable Care Act? Yes, it is happening. Healthcare experts from across the political spectrum have developed a plan<\/a> with something for both sides.<\/p>\n

Congress is in recess but Vox reports<\/a> that backers plan to push for their ideas in September.<\/p>\n

Take care,<\/p>\n
