President Trump has given no guarantee the CSR payments will continue. Insurers cite the continuation of CSRs as their number one concern and have said the payments are necessary for them to remain in the exchange market and to keep premium increases low.
Numerous insurers have left the markets established under the Affordable Care Act, even as other health plans have expanded.
