Seven Remaining Obamacare CO-OPs Prepare Survival Strategies
Kaiser Health News July 14, 2016
"There were 23 in 2014.... Eleven are still in business, but four in Oregon, Ohio, Connecticut and Illinois will disappear by fall due to financial insolvency.... For the rest -- which all posted annual losses in 2015 ... survival is job No. 1. Some are diversifying to serve larger employers, no longer limiting themselves to their ACA mandate to offer health plans to individuals and small businesses. A Maryland CO-OP has sued the federal government to avoid paying millions of dollars to other insurers under the ACA's complex formula to keep premiums stable by balancing risks among insurers and helping ailing ones. Other CO-OPs are trying to renegotiate contracts with hospitals and other providers."
