Im looking into getting another insurance plan.

I know that Humana, Aetna, and recently UnitedHealth have left or mostly abandoned ACA.

I am currently in Louisiana and I am mostly healthy save for seasonal allergies (the kind that over the counter medicine fixes).

I have no pre existing conditions, if that matters.

In LA your only options are BCBS (90%+ market share), Humana or Vantage. The website lists United Healthcare One but in reality they seized to operate in LA effective 1 1 2017.

Aetna will stay in because they're looking to increase their footprint through acquisitions and/or mergers. They will need to government to approve these acquisitions & mergers. Therefore, they trying to play nice.

Why has Blue Cross stayed in when everyone else with business acumen is trying to get away.

With Humana, it depends on the Parish. Humana is only selling plans in 8 Parishes in the state. Mostly in South La.

I wouldn't be surprised if BCBSLA opted out sooner rather then later. From what I have heard, they are loosing millions form the exchange.

Insurance in the ACA


That is quite an oxymoron.
