The state records came in response to Judicial Watch public record requests sent to each state’s insurance division, seeking the following:
The number of group and non-group
comprehensive (major medical) health insurance policies for which the
[STATE INSURANCE DIVISION] has received notice or report of the carrier
canceling or non-renewing, or intending to cancel or non-renew, such
policies, and for which the coverage termination date is after June 3,
2013, along with the number of individuals covered by such policies as
of the policy termination dates.
- New York Life Insurance Company informed Oregon’s Insurance Division that it was discontinuing a group health insurance plan offered to an association and provided a sample letter to policyholders, notifying them of the cancellation, with the following language:
“The decision to exit the medical care
marketplace was not an easy one but the evolving market conditions in
the health insurance industry under Health Care Reform laws and
regulations which are named Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(‘PPACA’) prevent us from continuing to offer competitive medical
insurance for association plans such as yours. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions regarding the actions described in
this letter.”
- Another health insurance provider in Oregon, Moda Health Plan, informed the state that it was exiting the individual health insurance market there, and provided a sample letter to policyholders that contained this language:
“We’re happy you chose Moda Health, and
we want you to stick with us as healthcare laws change. As part of the
Affordable Care Act implementation in Oregon, all of our individual and
family health plans will be discontinued. That means you’ll have to
enroll in a new plan. But don’t worry! We have some great choices.”
