Summary: If it’s Halloween, that means open enrollment for plans on the Affordable Care Act exchanges is right around the corner. Prices are actually down this year, but the future of the health law remains in doubt due to a lawsuit seeking to have the entire measure thrown out. This week, Stephanie Armour of The Wall Street Journal, Mary Agnes Carey of Kaiser Health News and Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico join KHN’s Julie Rovner to discuss these issues and more. Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists recommend their favorite health stories of the week. Also this week, the panelists read the top entries in KHN’s Halloween Health Haiku Contest.
