Three of the top five U.S. health insurers sent a signal that many of the changes wrought by the 2010 health-care overhaul are here to stay, even if the Supreme Court decides the law itself must go.
UnitedHealth Group Inc., Aetna Inc. and Humana Inc. said this week they would save some of the law’s most popular provisions, including letting young adults stay on parents’ plans. Employers seeking to contain the cost of care will also press to keep other provisions, said Mike Tuffin, who represented insurers as executive vice president at America’s Health Insurance Plans while the law was being negotiated.
