It's working ... right? If the clock is ticking on the Senate Republican effort to pass an ObamaCare repeal-and-replace bill, then time is also running out on Americans outside of urban cores stuck in the ObamaCare system. Anthem, which had previously been bullish on ObamaCare, announced that it will pull out of exchanges in most of Nevada - leaving thousands there with no access to health insurance within the mandatory system:
Anthem Inc.'s decision to quit offering Obamacare plans in much of Nevada will leave large parts of the state without options on the health law's exchanges.
The health insurer, a one-time Obamacare stalwart, has accelerated its retreat in recent weeks, blaming in part the uncertainty about the fate of the health law in Washington for making it difficult to come up with plans and calculate premiums.
In Nevada, officials including Republican governor Brian Sandoval called the situation a crisis Wednesday night. Anthem will now offer plans on the Affordable Care Act's exchange in just three of the state's more-populated counties, after previously selling coverage statewide. That leaves about 8,000 people in 13 counties and Carson City without access to Obamacare health plans and the government subsidies that often come with them, according to the state's Silver State Health Insurance Exchange.
It's the fourth state in which Anthem has departed recently. Their exits from Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio also left counties with no options to satisfy the mandate. In those cases as well as Nevada, Anthem was simply the last company to stick around. ...
Anthem (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) was an "Obamacare stalwart" simply because its leaders thought the federal government was going to continue to bail them out, but the insurance corp/whore, Barry Soetoro, ran out of other people's money.
