As the future of the Affordable Care Act remains uncertain, insurers are struggling to prepare their health plans for the 2018 state and federal exchanges. The June 21 deadline for insurers to finalize plans under the federal health care exchange for 2018 is coming soon, but after Congress didn't pass a replacement to the ACA, insurers around the country are confused what this means for their health plans.

While the confusion is widespread, so is the commitment to providing insurance as long as the ACA exists. Oliver Wyman Health released a survey this week, which shows 96 percent of insurers say they are committed to staying in the exchanges. While the majority of insurers say they will stay, many also admit to rethinking their strategies in light of the confusion.
