Idaho loses Obamacare insurer

Published May 22, 2017 5:10pm ET



Health insurer BridgeSpan plans to exit the Obamacare exchanges in Idaho next year due to losses and uncertainty about the law’s future, according to a HealthInsurance.org report.

The insurer will sell off-exchange plans next year and noted that the switch was not only a cost-control measure, but “is also a result of uncertainty and instability for the exchanges,” according to reporting by Louise Norris, a contributor to the site. Last year, five insurers participated in the exchange, which is run by the state.
