Oscar Insurance Company of Florida v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Inc. et al.

The plaintiffs argue that certain exclusivity agreements between Florida’s most dominant health insurance company and agents and brokers are anticompetitive practices that violate federal and state law. If such practices are exempt from antitrust law and insurers are restricted from working with brokers to sell their insurance products in the individual market, consumers could ultimately face less competition and choice in the ACA Marketplaces.

Potential Impact
If certain conduct by health insurance companies is exempt from federal antitrust law, consumers could face less competition and higher prices.
