The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act creates a host of new rules for all entities in health care, but especially for health insurers. The statute itself, and the regulations to which it gives rise, will change the nature of the insurance business, particularly in the small-group and individual markets. Regulatory proceedings and some litigation are likely to determine the final shape of the new rules. At the same time, collaborative efforts among insurers, providers, and regulators could lead to innovations that increase access to coverage while also reducing costs.
