In recent NY Times article, "Waivers Aim at Talk of Dropping Health Coverage", a developing trend has been noticed by Reed Abelson - a bunch of waivers to maintain even minimal coverage far below the new law’s standards. Thanks to Mr. Abelson - for pointing to how much the administration can, or should, compromise in ways that could dilute the effect of the new law in the next few years is a subject of much debate, depending on the politics from state to state or the economic dynamics in a particular market.
I urge you to read the article and share your thoughts. Is it possible to predict the waivers in a particular market?
