While campaigning, Donald Trump called for a complete repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). It is still too early, however, to be sure of how things will change. Since the election, President-elect Trump has indicated that he would keep parts of the ACA, including allowing adult children to stay on their parents’ health insurance plan until age 26, and prohibiting denying coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

We will be closely monitoring any proposed changes and what they might mean for our members. It is our intent to communicate any ACA changes that would impact our partners and clients in a timely manner once the information is known and validated.

Our entire philosophy is built on improving the health and lives of our members, and, as a health maintenance organization, we remain unwavering in our commitment to our members. We will be carefully following industry associations and experts on possible changes and timelines.
