HHS wants to med supps gaurenteed Issue

MAPD, PDP regulated by CMS.

Medigap regulated by the states.

CMS has no regulatory authority over Medigap plans.

How HHS is trying to do this is claim that if a company sells PD, and MAPD they have power to make them apply those rules to all products. It may not happen, but it definitely telegraphs what HHS wants to happen!

Maybe so. But like @somarco says there are plenty of supp only companies that HHC can't touch. Same goes for CMS.

So maybe this happening would be a good thing. The big insurance companies would struggle with supps while the Mom and Pop carriers who really need our help to sell them would thrive.

Maybe so. But I'd much prefer that CMS and HHC get out of Dodge.
