The ICHRA Exclusive Podcast is back, and open enrollment is coming with it. The ACA marketplace won't look the same when it arrives. Employers are rethinking their options, the momentum behind ICHRA keeps building, and the first 2027 rates are already hitting employers' desks.

To make sense of it, we're joined by Chris Reuter, Chief Revenue Officer at Remodel Health and someone who has seen this market from the inside. After more than 20 years at UnitedHealthcare, most recently leading a national sales team of over 250 professionals, Chris knows exactly what's driving the shifts employers are feeling right now.

We get into what pulled him all in on ICHRA, the real story behind the recent carrier shifts, and why the affordability crisis may be the single biggest accelerant for ICHRA adoption yet. With several states already showing their hand, Chris makes his call on where 2027 rates are heading into open enrollment. He also names the one thing that has to change for ICHRA to reach its full potential.

If you're bracing for your 2027 renewal, watching the carrier landscape shift, or want a candid read on where ICHRA goes next, this one's for you.
