Researchers at Georgetown University conducted a study on the effects of a law intended to make healthcare more affordable. The study's findings suggest that this law may be contributing to higher insurance premiums. A significant increase in arbitration costs was noted, reaching $22.4 billion in 2025.

This increase is attributed to the process of resolving disputes between doctors and insurers. The study's authors believe their estimate may be conservative.

Further details on the study's findings are available, including the potential impact on employers and insurers. The study was shared in a recent publication, providing more information on the law's effects.
