1. Plan is defined as a health insurance offering in which an individual can enroll, offered by a carrier

2. Consumer defined as all individuals eligible to purchase qualified health plans (QHP)

3. Price leader defined as carrier offering the lowest-price plan

4. Net premium takes subsidy into account based on consumers' geography, family size, age and income; we assume that these factors remain constant in 2016, since consumers have not yet supplied current income information during the open enrollment process

METHODOLOGYThe above findings are based on publicly available, approved 2016 individual market exchange rates as displayed on exchanges for all states and DC, compiled within the McKinsey Exchange Offering Database.
