Matthew Fiedlers Insights on Lowering Private Health Insurance Premiums
Matthew Fiedler testified before the US Congress on private health insurance premium reductions. He proposed lowering prices or medical utilization to reduce premiums without increasing costs for insureds or excluding people with high medical costs. He stated that increasing competition in the healthcare markets could lower prices, but would require more aggressive measures. He emphasized that it is harder to save by reducing utilization.
