What are Start-Up Requirements for
Health Care
Co-ops and a Public Plan Option?
New research/Study Unveiled via Webcast
Monday, November 2, 2009
Noon – 1:30 p.m. (EST)
As health care reform moves forward in Congress, the debate over a government-sponsored public plan option and/or a series of health insurance cooperatives (co-ops) has garnered considerable attention. Because policymakers are grappling with these proposed elements of reform, a joint work group of the American Academy of Actuaries and the Society of Actuaries has developed a new model that projects the necessary start-up capital requirements under a variety of scenarios for proposed health care cooperatives and/or a public plan option.
During this interactive briefing, the actuaries will provide an overview of this new model and address issues such as:
- Why is start-up capital needed for both a public plan option and/or health insurance cooperatives?
- What are the issues associated with start-up capital requirements for co-ops versus a public plan option?
- How will start-up capital requirements vary based on different scenarios (e.g., level of enrollment and pricing) in health care cooperatives and/or a public plan option?
The briefing will begin with a presentation, followed by a Q&A session with our panel of actuarial experts.
