KGTV-TV, the ABC News affiliate in San Diego, interviewed Dr. Naomi Zewde, assistant professor in the UCLA Fielding Department of Health Policy and Management, about health insurance and open enrollment season.

“It's happening really across the board. Employer plans, premiums are increasing as well as in the Healthcare.gov and the non-group marketplaces,” said Naomi Zewde, an assistant professor for UCLA Fielding School of Public Health. “My assumption would be that when people are opening that website and checking what the premiums are, that there might be a little bit of sticker shock reflecting the fact that they're no longer getting these heightened subsidies."
