Inside Health Reform interviewed Manatt’s Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, for an article about Alaska’s draft ACA 1332 waiver designed to stabilize the state’s health insurance market.
Ario told Inside Health Reform that the Obama administration wanted to make premiums more affordable, and so the waiver is good policy for this administration. He said it also fits well with the incoming Trump administration because under a repeal-and-replace scenario, states likely would have more flexibility.
