United States of Care Responds to 2025 Marketplace Integrity and Affordability Proposed Rule

Last week, United States of Care (USofCare) submitted comments in response to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Marketplace Integrity and Affordability Proposed Rule. 

We know that affordability and dependability are top of mind when people think about their needs to achieve optimal health, and thus appreciate that the goals of the proposed rule are to lower premiums and increase access to care. However, we are concerned that these changes, if finalized, would result in inefficiencies and increased costs across the system, largely driven by policies that could jeopardize people’s access to care and drive up uncompensated care in the process. We share the goal of people being as healthy as they can and recognize that access to health care and coverage is a key part of achieving that aim.

USofCare appreciates the opportunity to respond to the proposed rule.
