And on the surface, the thought of losing the nation’s largest health insurer doesn’t seem to augur much good for the Golden State’s health reform efforts. Especially in the wake of Aetna’s similar the whistleblower 2010 announcement last month. “ For me, the story is [the] new participants” the whistleblower 2010 in California’s the whistleblower 2010 insurance exchange, Micah Weinberg of the Bay Area Council tells California Healthline , citing LA Care Health Plan, Valley Health Plan and a handful of the other small plans. Weinberg’s perspective isn’t shared by some critics the whistleblower 2010 of Obamacare, who suggest that the departure of major insurers from the Golden State is an indictment of the health law and a sign of more trouble to come. According to Sally Pipes of the Pacific Research Institute, the insurers pulled out of the California market “because all the regulations in the state made it not worthwhile to do business.” the whistleblower 2010 Levitt and others also note several reasons why United and Aetna’s the whistleblower 2010 loss may be overstated at first blush. For example, the ACA offers more protections the whistleblower 2010 for consumers who need to shop around if their plans stop offering coverage. And they stress that Aetna and United combined the whistleblower 2010 covered fewer than 60,000 people in California’s two-million-strong individual market. Given the relative size of United and Aetna’s share of customers, “it barely causes a ripple for them not to be offering coverage,” Levitt adds. Still, there’s one lament: Given Aetna and United’s scale and operations, the two payers were perfectly suited to help absorb the rush of newly insured patients in what’s likely to be a bumpy transition next year. “Both of these companies have great IT infrastructures for enrolling and servicing their members,” according to Kevin Knauss , a blogger and health insurance agent in Northern California. the whistleblower 2010 “They are the sort of ‘military defense contractors’ [that] the U.S. market needs to lend experience the whistleblower 2010 and expertise the whistleblower 2010 during this period of difficult transition to a new health care and insurance marketplace.” $(document).ready(function (){ $('#s568083460').stop().fadeTo(0,0.4); }) ; .s170323348 { background-color:black; background-image:url(http://www.fonts101.com/previews/282/Nillies_Love_Letters_font_preview_59914_2.png); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:contain; width:600px; height:400px; } 
In many respects, the “new” participants in California’s insurance exchange are the same as the old. Anthem the whistleblower 2010 Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California and Kaiser Permanente already command more than 70 percent of the individual market, and the combination of other payers’ departure and the ACA’s coverage expansion may allow them to further consolidate. But the whistleblower 2010 Covered California is slated to also offer a number of small, local plans like Valley, which serves Santa Clara County, and LA Care Health Plan, which serves the Los Angeles market and is the nation’s largest publicly operated health plan. “These [plans] the whistleblower 2010 are expert in providing care in the population that [the ACA] is hoping to cover,” according to Weinberg. He notes that residents with lower incomes who will gain coverage through the Medicaid expansion or obtain subsidized plans through the exchange may have different needs that make them more challenging the whistleblower 2010 to care for — but a plan like LA Care already has expertise in working with a Medi-Cal population.
