Dropping an ACA Marketplace Plan

Before the Affordable Care Act, a 28-year-old patient with Type 1 diabetes could be denied coverage or charged prohibitively high premiums in the individual market. The ACA's community rating and guaranteed issue provisions changed that. A patient tells you that he is considering dropping his ACA Marketplace plan because premiums have increased and he feels healthy.

As his primary care physician, what do you advise, and what does his situation illustrate about the structure of US health insurance markets?

Likely follow-up · What is adverse selection, and why is it the central actuarial challenge of any insurance market that prohibits medical underwriting?
