The Drake University Actuarial Science Program, Kelley Insurance Center and PwC present: A Roundtable Discussion of Health Care
*This event will be streamed live at: http://www.drake.edu/stream/In the past few years, health care has received great attention, especially from politicians. During the 2010 spring session of Congress, The
Affordable Care Act was passed and signed into law by President Obama. According to the White House website, the Affordable Care Act will provide “…. better health security by putting in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that hold insurance companies accountable, lower health care costs, guarantee more choice, and enhance the quality of care for all Americans.” Thus, this act clearly affects insurance companies.
At the same time the Long Term Care Insurance market is in turmoil. Carriers have implemented significant rate increases for in-force policies, Metlife and Guardian Life Insurance Company have announced plans to exit the market. The
Affordable Care Act included the implementation of a public option Long Term Care program referred to as the Class Act.
This roundtable will discuss these developments, with representatives from Drake University, Iowa Insurance Division, Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, John Hancock, and PwC.
