Politico Pro interviewed Manatt’s Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health, for an article about how states are accommodating insurers amid uncertainty in the marketplace.
Ario said that even states that don't formally move their deadlines will still be open to insurers asking for additional time to file proposals. And there will still be plenty of wrangling before 2018 exchange rates are finalized. Insurers have until September to withdraw from markets altogether, at which point Ario said the true picture about consumers' options will become clear.
