Hi Rebecca,
Sorry for the delay. This rule is on my radar. Our CCD coalition is preparing talking points on the issue which will focus on the essential health benefits part of the rule which we think is important.
Sincerely,

The proposed rule sets forth payment parameters and provisions related to the risk adjustment programs; cost-sharing parameters and cost sharing reductions; and user fees for federally-facilitated Exchanges and state-based Exchanges on the federal platform.It also includes proposed changes to standards related to Exchanges; the required functions of the SHOPs; actuarial value for standalone dental plans; the rate review program; the medical loss ratio program; eligibility and enrollment; exemptions; and other related topics.
