[***Melanie Musson***](https://www.linkedin.com/company/2223993/admin/#)*, Health Insurance Expert at [Clearsurance](https://clearsurance.com/) gives her take on the new ACA guidelines and why they will really end up benefitting consumers.*

“With the new ACA guidelines, insurance companies must now offer plans that meet very specific criteria, which is great for consumers. When consumers compare, they’ll be comparing the same thing, so that will benefit policyholders or consumers.

Now with these plans, consumers can compare prices more accurately because they’re comparing apples to apples compared to before, apples to oranges”.
