The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said on Wednesday that only Paulding County in northwestern Ohio was projected to have no insurers in 2018, while 1,478 counties could have only one issuer next year.
Health insurers are facing an upheaval in their businesses amid growing uncertainty over the healthcare legislation under President Donald Trump, who seeks to follow through on his promise to dismantle former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.
But other insurers, like Centene Corp, have filled those gaps, expanding into new counties that had lost their coverage options.
