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.
