<p>We at Wild Blue tend to celebrate policy updates that result in more people covered with access to care. We really get excited when people can obtain high quality, affordable coverage, for example purchasing ACA-Compliant health insurance through Healthcare.gov. </p>



<p>For several years, the so-called &#8220;family glitch&#8221; interrupted good news about available APTCs (Advanced Premium Tax Credits) helping make ACA Marketplace health insurance more affordable. Fixing the &#8220;family glitch&#8221; should be a major celebration, although we have some questions about how well the glitch fix, well, fixes the glitch. </p>

<p>In a conversation with <em>Houston Chronicle</em> reporter Gwendolyn Wu, Wild Blue&#8217;s founder Ken Janda noted that insurers must guess whether it’s a better financial move to reimburse customers now in the form of premium credits, or to wait until next year and see if there’s pent-up demand from people who put off care in 2020.</p>



<p>“All of those services are down and save the insurance company money this year because they don&#8217;t have to pay those claims, but could potentially cost them money next year or the year after,” Janda said.</p>
