Rick Thornton, a Plano health insurance agent, said a recent report suggests that some of the largest health insurers are benefiting from last year’s tax overall and increased their overall profitability.
Group Health insurance in Plano has insurers profitability soaring due to substantial premium increases, government premium tax credits, and Medicaid expansion, according to a recent report from the Council of Economic Advisers. The council, which is an agency within the executive office, said health insurers have experienced new opportunities since the Affordable Care Act was created in 2010 since the bill subsidizes the purchase of health insurance and expands eligibility for subsidies. In fact, Fierce Health Insurance in a recent article said that health insurer’s stocks have strongly outperformed gains in the S&P 500 since the ACA’s main provisions began taking effect in 2014.

The report went on to state that insurance companies, including those who help individuals and families with group health insurance in Plano , initially struggled to make a profit early on but have since recovered nicely. According to the article, “The White House also said last year's tax overhaul has helped insurer profitability. Some of the largest health insurers expect net income to increase between 8.7% and 19.6% in 2018 over the previous year, due in large part to the tax cuts. This has created increased scrutiny on health insurers, especially during times of high premium increases and costly Medicaid expansion.”
Rick Thornton, a Plano health insurance agent who continues to study the effects of the ACA, said the report from the Executive Council could be used by the current administration to bolster further regulatory reforms to the ACA, including expanding Medicaid work requirements and continuing to withhold cost-sharing subsidies. The goal, as always, has been to focus on the millions of Americans who were previously uninsured or underinsured by giving them and their families the health insurance they need at a cost that won’t break the bank — especially as the nation continues to rebound from the pandemic.
