Ohio is purposely sitting on its hands.
Ohio’s Department of Insurance has planned no marketing, advertising or outreach to promote the Affordable Care Act, even though enrollment begins in less than two months. Consumers nonetheless can expect to hear plenty about it — the good, the bad and, especially, the political — in coming weeks.
Ohio officials: Rates to increase
Ohio could end up with a highly competitive health insurance exchange program, but regulators say the cost of the coverage sold could be expensive.
State regulators turned in paperwork on Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) exchange plans Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will be running a “federally facilitated exchange” (FFE) program in Ohio.
The individual exchange attracted applications from 12 insurers, and the state’s Small Business Health Options Program exchange attracted applications from six insurers.
