Iowa’s Obamacare plans stabilize for 2019

Published

Health Insurers Medica and Wellmark have filed paperwork to sell Obamacare plans in all 99 of Iowa’s counties. The health insurance division would not provide specifics on the rate filings, but did say that Medica’s proposed rate filing was less than 5.6 percent. Last year, it raised rates by more than 50 percent.
