>> Aetna's decision to abandon its ObamaCare expansion plans and rethink its participation altogether came as a surprise to many. I'm having a difficult time understanding what happens from here. If the insurers bail out, and I think they will, what happens to those 10 million people for whom these exchanges are the only sources for health insurance? This seems like a very large looming problem that could well be dumped on the public at a moment's notice. Might we have areas where it is not possible to get insurance? After all, the co-ops have failed all over the place and there is at least some chance of places ending up without any coverage at all. In my area, you have United Health, Ambetter (which isn't particularly well funded, it being a small, new insurer) and BCBS. If BCBS were to drop out it is all over. Our Medicaid here certainly cannot pick up the slack. This just looks like a serious pending problem to me.
