Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Curtain..

Elsewhere in the batch, CMS says.

• Connecticut is the only state taking advantage of a PPACA provision that lets states run their own reinsurance programs.
• The 2014 attachment point, or deductible, for PPACA reinsurance for health plans will be cut to $45,000, from $60,000, and the 2015 PPACA reinsurance premium will be $44 per enrollee per year.
• The HHS exchange user fee for 2015 will be 3.5 percent of premium.

CMS is preparing to publish the new PPACA regulations in the Federal Register March 11.


CMS talks about the risk corridors program and many other PPACA provisions in the same 335-page anthology of PPACA final regulations that lets consumers keep non-PPACA-compliant individual policies for two extra years, if insurers and state regulators permit that, and that keeps the current March 31 PPACA individual QHP enrollment deadline.

I am sorry did I just notice CMS give themselves a raise.....We all know how well they have operated the Exchange they clearly deserve an extra half a point for someone to use the Exchange.

I wonder if their 3.5% commission (oops I mean "fee") is in the administrative expense column of the MLR.
