New Report Suggests Improving Risk Pool

Yesterday, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a new report which looks at overall spending in the marketplace and what that means for the risk pools. Key findings from the report include the fact that per enrollee costs in the individual market did not change between the first year of the marketplace (2014) and the second year (2015), that slower growth is a result of a healthier risk pool and states that experience the higher growth in enrollment also experienced greater reduction in costs.
