Researchers have made a notable discovery about a law intended to make healthcare more affordable. The study, conducted by Georgetown University, reveals that this law may be having an unintended effect. Costs associated with arbitration between doctors and insurers have risen significantly, reaching $22.4 billion in 2025.

This increase is likely to impact premiums, as employers and insurers may raise them to cover these costs. The study's findings were recently shared, providing insight into the potential consequences of this law.

Further information about the study and its implications can be found through the original source, which includes comments from one of the study's authors, a professor at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy.
