Look for the "Escape Hatch" W/SCOTUS

I was just outside and looked up into the sky and saw a tater ridin a horse....is this some kind of sign?

It's a good sign Houcoogster! It means The Supreme Court will do the right thing regarding FFM subsidies.

Are you sure tater wasn't riding an ass? If so, we need to interpret this sign differently.

Another headache and unexpected cost for health insurers. 2016 premiums must be submitted to HHS by May 15th. A ruling against FFM subsidies by the SCOTUS in June would dictate that those premiums be adjusted upward. But the law prohibits this.

May 15 is an absolutely ridiculous date.

Intentional act to squeeze out the 2nd and 3rd tier carriers.

Blue domination may come sooner than expected.

HHS chose May 15th when they stated that Open Enrollment would commence on October 1st. HHS suddenly changed OE to November 1st, but didn't change the plan submission deadline back to June 15th. I don't believe they ever intended to have Open Enrollment start on October 1st. As Somarco says, it was just one of the usual HHS deceptions designed to hurt health insurers...and agents. (More Overhead = Lower Commissions)

Adding insult to injury, it's expected that over 1 million people will obtain health insurance for the first time during the March 15th to April 30th PAE. The majority of these plans (with no claim history to reference) will go into effect on May 1st and June 1st. You can bet that insurance company actuaries privately consulted with each other, and started increasing planned 2016 premiums on the news of this politically motivated Penalty Avoidance Enrollment.

You can have as many shades as you want, so long as they're delivered by the colored company.
