What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

AmeriHealth Caritas announced it will offer 2027 marketplace plans in seven central Indiana counties and Ohio's six largest metropolitan areas. This expansion adds 60 counties to the company's total footprint, which now covers 135 counties across seven states, including Delaware. This entry occurs as the individual insurance market has seen enrollment fall 18% between June 2025 and June 2026, according to a KFF analysis.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion introduces new competition into the healthcare market in Indiana and Ohio. This comes as marketplace insurers proposed a median premium increase of 15% for 2027, following a period of double-digit cost increases. The decline in enrollment is linked to the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits.
