Indianapolis – February 15, 2017 -- "Today's regulation marks an important step towards stabilizing the individual market. We commend the administration for proposing these policy changes that will help achieve greater affordability for consumers," said Joseph Swedish, Anthem's chairman, president and chief executive officer. "As we have stated for the last two years, under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) the individual market is not stable, is on a slippery slope towards significant deterioration and requires changes to ensure future stability and affordability.
