House Democrats are carrying \u201cpocket cards\u201d (talking points) detailing how the reform law has already helped people (e.g., 86 million have received free preventive care).<\/li>\n<li>The administration will have to continue to provide much-needed \u2013 and overdue \u2013 guidance for states, employers and insurance companies, among others, to answer the many outstanding questions that are holding up implementation of the law.<\/li>\n<li>There will be a chorus of voices advising everyone to wait until after the fall elections before taking further action.<\/li>\n<li>There will be an outcry from some quarters to ramp up efforts to repeal PPACA.<\/li>\n<li>There will be more court cases challenging other provisions of PPACA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Key Insurance Issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full-scale implementation of PPACA will continue unabated.<\/li>\n<li>All insurance reform provisions will remain in effect.<\/li>\n<li>Many of the hesitant states will move to build exchanges while some will continue to refuse compliance. Many states will have to engage in a partnership exchange or a federally facilitated exchange at least for the first few years as they will not be able to put the required pieces together to open a state-run exchange by January 2014.<\/li>\n<li>The premium subsidy for qualified people buying coverage through the exchanges will move forward uninhibited.<\/li>\n<li>The Medicaid program will largely remain as envisioned by PPACA. States achieved a victory, of sorts, in that they can refuse to expand Medicaid without losing all of the federal funds for Medicaid that they currently receive. States will continue to push for flexibility on the maintenance-of-effort provisions due to increasing state budget pressures; in response, the administration will grant 1115 Waivers, but with reform elements.<\/li>\n<li>Delivery reform will continue at the current pace, some provisions may be shelved due to budgetary constraints and HHS capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court has just released its multi-page ruling on the constitutionality of the health reform law and the summary result is clear: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is constitutional.
