Marcus & Millichap Special Report Notes Healthcare Demand Rises as American Care Act Phased-In

WALNUT CREEK, CA – Marcus & Millichap’s latest Medical Research Report notes the individual health insurance mandate remains slated to take effect in early 2014 despite the rocky rollout of the online health insurance marketplace.

Government forecasts predict the American Care Act (ACA) will reduce the uninsured, non-elderly population by 14 million individuals in its first year despite relatively light individual non-compliance penalties.

Over the following two years, forecast reductions to the uninsured population rise sharply alongside penalties, reaching 25 million individuals by 2016.

Expanded health insurance coverage will increase demand for medical services, as will the aging of baby boomers into their traditional retirement years.

The segment of the population aged 65 years and older, which accounts for an estimated one-third of all U.S. healthcare expenditures, will grow by more than 18 million individuals over the next 10 years.
