On April 21, 2015, Carrie Fry, a data and policy analyst in the Department of Health Policy, presented a policy update at the Tennessee Primary Care Association’s semi-annual Outreach and Enrollment training. The attendees of the training were advocates from across TN who help individuals sign up for health insurance through healthcare.gov, including Navigators and Certified Application Counselors who work in a variety of settings like hospitals, charitable clinics, and health-focused non-profit organizations.
Carrie’s policy update focused on the Supreme Court case regarding health insurance subsidies, King vs. Burwell. She discussed the basis of the lawsuit, the legal arguments, and the potential ramifications of a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs on the uninsured rate and price of health insurance premiums in Tennessee.
