| “While legislation appears to slowly be moving at the federal level, it is unlikely any changes to the ACA will be enacted in time to keep Iowa's individual health insurance market from a total collapse leaving nearly 72,000 individuals with zero options to purchase health insurance for 2018” -Doug Ommen, Insurance Commissioner, Iowa |
| An Avalere analysis of data from eight
states that have submitted early rate filings found, 47 counties
(covering about 34,000 enrollees) would have no participating
issuer on the exchange without a new plan entering the market or
expanding its footprint. 41% of counties could see only one
insurer offering plans, up from 33% in 2017. Further, only 27%
of counties are expected to have three or more issuers, down
from 64% in 2016. Source: Avalere |
