Quoted: Justin Sydnor, a professor in the business school at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is not quite so sanguine about Obamacare’s near-term future. “Many insurers had put provisions into their contracts for offering ACA-exchange plans that they could exit the market during the plan year if the federal government stops payments for ’cost-sharing reductions,’” he said. “Because President Trump will have the authority through executive action to end those payments, he could cause an abrupt pullout and cancellation of ACA policies even in January next year. In light of that, what I would say is that there is some real risk of those who buy ACA plans of not being able to get through 2017 without a serious disruption.”
