Quote
  “I am skeptical they [startup health plans targeting the individual market] will have a huge impact. It is hard to build a brand on Exchanges, and just getting good prices from providers could be hard, as would attracting people who transition in and out of employer coverage. Risk adjustment makes it harder than in the past to do well by attracting healthy young tech-savvy customers.”
- Michael Chernew, PhD, Leonard D. Schaeffer Professor of Healthcare Policy, Director, Healthcare Markets and Regulation Lab, Department of Healthcare Policy, Harvard University Medical School.
 
Factoid

"Roughly 13% -- 1.6 million -- of the 12.7 million who enrolled [in the health insurance Marketplace] by the end of March 2016 didn’t renew their coverage.”
