When such silver-loading is done, however, unsubsidized enrollees are effectively held harmless.<br />Andrew Sprunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601269968798865106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-72583578422956211182018-03-19T14:32:23.580-04:002018-03-19T14:32:23.580-04:00The intent of the law was that all taxpayers would...The intent of the law was that all taxpayers would in effect pay the cost of CSR's.<br /><br />But pricing the CSR cost into policies seems to mean that the cost is being borne by unsubsidized persons on the exchanges.<br /><br />These poor folks over 400% of poverty on are the whole not rich, and I am sick of their being hit over and over with the costs of the ACA.Bob Hertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889826739646491269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-72003224350785551962018-03-19T11:25:44.333-04:002018-03-19T11:25:44.333-04:00Insurers were able to price in the cost of CSR.
