Obamacare Co-ops Crumble: Tennessee

Comment: See?  We told you so.  (And all the King’s horses and all the King’s men, couldn’t put Obamacare together again…)

UPDATEat this writing, eight Obamacare co-ops have flopped.

“Tennessee will become the sixth state to shut down its Obamacare-funded insurance co-op, announcing Wednesday it will not offer insurance coverage in 2016.”

“The decision comes a few weeks after the federal government warned Tennessee of financial problems with the co-op including failing to pay agents and brokers and rising patient complaints.”

“CMS was also concerned about the co-op’s viability. The insurer has 29,773 members and planned to increase its membership, but it has since raised rates by 44 percent.”
