RUSH: “Anthem Insurance to Exit Nevada\u2019s Obamacare Exchange<\/a> and Almost Half of Georgia\u2019s Counties in 2018 — American health insurance giant Anthem announced [yesterday] that it will exit the Obamacare exchange in Nevada and will stop offering plans in roughly half of Georgia\u2019s counties next year.” There\u2019s something that didn\u2019t make this story. Certain Anthem customers in New York City and state have recently received an email — a letter, if you will –from Anthem saying, “Guess what?<\/p>\n

\"\"“We\u2019re ending your coverage. We are terminating your policy. Your options are to go get a private policy at this elsewhere location.” But there isn\u2019t that location. There isn\u2019t that option. The option presented to current Anthem customers doesn\u2019t exist. They\u2019re just pulling out. Anthem “stated that it will offer ‘catastrophic plans\u2019 in which Americans under 30-years-old or low-income citizens can purchase outside of Nevada\u2019s exchange. Anthem said that the individual market remains ‘volatile.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Anthem suggested in a statement that a deteriorating marketplace and uncertainty regarding the future of Obamacare fueled their exit from [Nevada].” This in addition to saying they “will only offer Obamacare plans in 85 of Georgia\u2019s 159 counties … Earlier this month Anthem revealed that they will pull out of 16 of 19 regions in California in 2018.” Anthem is pulling out of America, essentially, here. “The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reported recently that next year 1,332 counties will only have one health insurer on the Obamacare exchanges.<\/p>\n

“The CMS also reported that 40 counties currently do not have any health insurers on the Obamacare marketplaces.” By the way, this Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, CMS? These are the people who run Obamacare, and when they were selling the public on Obamacare, they lied their heads off about how many exchanges there would be and how plentiful the choices would be and how affordable the options would be — and yet it\u2019s just another insurer pulling out.<\/p>\n

Now, what\u2019s interesting is that the media \u00a0hasn\u2019t covered Anthem\u2019s decision to cancel some policies there. I don\u2019t know how widespread it is, but they are not offering any individual plan alternatives in New York City. And there\u2019s not a single report about Anthem leaving the exchange markets in New York. Is the media ignoring that, I wonder, or maybe they haven\u2019t figured it out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
