“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.” |

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.
