COMMENTARY
Briefing: U.S. Health Insurers' First-Quarter 2014 Earnings Hit by Affordable Care Act

Many health insurers’ first-quarter 2014 results were negatively impacted by inclusion in their income statement of the entire annual industry fee assessed under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The fee, which is to assist the government in funding the additional costs that it will incur under the ACA, was offset by only one quarter of premiums in the first-quarter statutory statements. It begins at $8 billion in 2014 and increases gradually until 2018, when it will reach $14.3 billion.
