New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options Get Thinner as Providers Exit ACA Marketplace

The continuing saga of the proposed changes with the Affordable Care Act is putting a lot of things in limbo, and a lot coverage providers are running for cover. Case in point, the latest company to back out of the marketplace is Aetna.

The insurer has two remaining states in their service list, namely Nebraska and Delaware, but it won’t be for long. The company has recently confirmed that they will no longer be entering back into the marketplace to sell individual health plans for the said states, a move which comes shortly after dropping Virginia from their 2018 service list.

Earlier in the year, the company had already declared that they will be letting go of Iowa. Originally, Aetna held as much as 15 states where they offered Obamacare policies.
