How a Public Option May Preserve Health Insurance Exchanges
Multiple healthcare payers have been struggling with operating successfully on the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges.Some experts and lawmakers suggest that establishing a public option on the health insurance exchanges could create a stronger, more competitive marketplace and foster a better environment for payers to meet consumer needs.At the end of last year, the national payer UnitedHealthcare announced that it would be leaving the health insurance exchanges since it suffered major profit losses.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – State regulators say the cost of health insurance premiums will be going up sharply next year for residents who buy individual plans.The state Department of Insurance said Monday that insurance company rates, based on requests for 2017, include an average increase of 32.5 percent for individual plans and 7.1 percent for small group plans.Officials said they pushed back last year on rate increase requests but, "given challenges companies are facing" and Washington's failure to act on changes to the law, insurance company requests for rate increases next year "were critical to ensuring all Pennsylvania residents continued to have access to health plans through the federal exchange in 2017."Commissioner Teresa Miller said the increases were necessary to keep insurers from abandoning the market completely.
