As Delaware's health insurance options shrink, families hold their breath stat : CNNMoney

Like millions of other Americans, the Ryans say the cost of their health insurance is a major consideration. But he makes too much money to qualify for a subsidy on the ACA insurance exchange, so they will have to cover the full cost of insurance. Andy and Serena Ryan get their health coverage through the state's Obamacare exchange and are growing increasingly anxious about it. "The health insurance has allowed us to live the way we want, to be at home with the kids and create our own business," Serena Ryan said. Cameron and Lori Llewellyn, also of Dover, face health insurance troubles, too.




Brady, who issued Thursday's call to action, is one of the main authors of the House GOP health care bill. The Obama health care law provides two kinds of government subsidies to help people with modest incomes purchase private insurance. "We should act within our constitutional authority now to temporarily and legally fund (subsidy) payments as we move away from Obamacare," Brady said at a budget hearing. But he stopped short of offering a guarantee that subsidy payments would continue. President Donald Trump asserts that the Affordable Care Act is collapsing, and he's repeatedly threatened to halt subsidy payments to force Democrats to negotiate on health care legislation.

Two counties face health insurance difficulties

OLYMPIA — Residents in two counties — Klickitat and Grays Harbor — may have limited health insurance options next year because no insurers have filed to sell plans there, Washington state's insurance commissioner said Thursday. The commissioner's office said that as of Thursday, 11 health insurers have filed 71 plans for the state's 2018 individual health insurance market. Kreidler's office said that two insurers — Community Health Plan of Washington and Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Washington Options — announced earlier this year that they were pulling out the 2018 individual health insurance market. The options include eight plans from Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Northwest, four plans from Lifewise Health Plan of Washington and two plans from Molina Healthcare of Washington. Because WSHIP is not a qualified insurer for the state's health exchange, subsidies are not available.
