The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden in March 2021. The ARPA includes provisions that increase subsidies for Marketplace shoppers who were already eligible for financial assistance and removes the upper income cap on subsidy eligibility, eliminating what was known as the "subsidy cliff.
As of April 30, nearly 1 million people had enrolled in a HealthCare.gov plan during the ongoing special enrollment period, which lasts through August 15.

Companies keep overpromising about AI - Marketplace
The insurance company Lemonade is all about automation. To file claims, customers upload a selfie video and Lemonade’s chatbot, AI Jim, will handle some claims automatically. On Twitter this week, Lemonade got in trouble suggesting that artificial intelligence handles fraud detection and uses nonverbal cues to assess some claims. Researchers said that capability doesn’t exist and could be discriminatory.
Ryan Calo: [Lemonade] has a bot that is called AI Jim. And it does handle some automatic transactions, but it does not use AI. However, Lemonade is a company, and a big part of its supposed competitive edge is the fact that it uses AI. And so that’s what’s so confusing. I mean, you call something AI Jim and you say, “Well, it actually doesn’t use AI.” But what I love about it is it’s a beautiful illustration of all the problems in the industry.
