  “This is not the situation I hoped we would be in, but due to President Trump’s refusal to make cost-sharing reduction payments for 2018 and Congress’s inaction to appropriate funds, it is the reality that state regulators must face and the reason rate increases will be higher than they should be across the country.”
  -Jessica Altman, Commissioner, Pennsylvania Department of Insurance

Factoid
  AMA's study, titled "Competition in Health Insurance: A Comprehensive Study of U.S. Markets," comprises commercial enrollment data from 2016. The study found that in roughly two years, the percentage of markets with one insurer dominating at least a 50% share of the market grew 8%. For 69% of metropolitan areas, a significant absence of payer competition was present. Indianapolis-based Anthem held the largest geographic footprint in the U.S., representing the insurer with the highest market share in 82 of 389 metropolitan areas.
