GAO OK with Health Care Waivers
A much anticipated audit of the waivers to the health care reform law landed with a whimper on Tuesday. “We found that [the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight] granted waivers mostly for applications that projected the annual limit restriction would result in a significant premium increase of more than 10 percent, in addition to a significant decrease in access to benefits,” the GAO report said. “Conversely, most of the denied applications projected a premium increase of 6 percent or less.”
