The Thin Red Federal Poverty Line: How Rejecting The Medicaid Expansion Affects Those With Exchange Coverage, 47 J. Marshall L. Rev. 923 (2014), J. Angelo Desantis Jan 2014

The Thin Red Federal Poverty Line: How Rejecting The Medicaid Expansion Affects Those With Exchange Coverage, 47 J. Marshall L. Rev. 923 (2014), J. Angelo Desantis

UIC Law Review

This Article explores the less-discussed consequences to Exchanges in non-Expansion states. One consequence is that the rules designed to help individuals who fall on hard time maintain coverage can work against the poor in non-Expansion states. In those states, common life events, marriage, divorce, a new child, a job loss, and retirement, can push lower income enrollees out of subsidy eligibility. And if enrollees report income changes to the Exchange — as most Exchanges require — they’ll lose their subsidies. But in non-Expansion states, enrollees may be better off not notifying Exchanges of certain income drops.

UIC Law Review

This article outlines the foundations of health-related accounts and arrangements, including tax and economic considerations affecting their role in various designs for health insurance coverage. It explores the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and related administrative guidance affecting their usage, arguing that emerging trends showing that insured patients are bearing increasingly significant levels of out-of-pocket costs suggest an expanding role for consumer-directed accounts and arrangements, albeit one clouded by looming excise taxes imposed on “excess benefit” coverage beginning in 2018.
