A bipartisan group of healthcare policy experts is pushing Congress and the Trump administration to take steps to shore up the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges after the collapse of the Senate’s efforts to repeal the law.
Their suggestions include funding cost-sharing reduction (CSR) payments and continuing to push for more people to sign up through the exchanges, according to a copy of the report obtained by the Associated Press.
Though insurance industry experts have underscored how important CSR payments are to stabilizing the marketplaces, the Trump administration has threatened to stop funding the subsidies, which are at the center of a federal court case.
