What happens to US health insurance if the hasty Republican overhaul backed by Donald Trump fails? — Quartz
Initial submissions for health insurers who wish to participate in the health insurance exchanges next year are due by June 21, according to federal officials who manage the program. But the troubled health insurance markets are convincing many Democratic politicians that their attempts to find a public-private partnership were misguided, and that a single-payer health care system is the only solution. But Republicans are likely to own whatever results the US health care system delivers ahead of the 2018 elections. The most vulnerable group in the current system are the 12.2 million people on the individual insurance market. It's no given that the top-secret health care plan being pondered by US Senate Republicans will be enacted, given the ideological divides within the party on basic issues like how much the government should subsidize health care.
In a weekend story, The Denver Post reported that Kaiser Permanente was the only Colorado health care provider that explicitly committed to selling plans next year on the state health exchange, Connect for Health Colorado. Democratic senators are also expected to try and hold the Senate floor Monday night to open up the debate on the health care bill. DENVER – Health care is slated for a big day in Colorado Monday, as several Democrats are holding high-profile events on the same day that insurance companies are supposed to submit their rate hike proposals to the state's insurance division. Two of the seven companies operating on the state exchange, Colorado Choice Health Plans and Rocky Mountain Health Plans, did not respond to The Post's requests for facebook/" target="_blank">comment. But the Division of Insurance tells Denver7 that the requests will have to be analyzed and will likely not be publicly available until mid-July.
