Iowans who buy their own health insurance will have at least three choices of carriers next year — after nearly going without any options for 2018, reports the Des Moines Register. Medica, which is the sole carrier selling individual health insurance policies in Iowa this year, will continue doing so for 2019, an executive said today. Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield has previously said it would resume selling such policies for 2019. Wellmark also plans to partner with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation to sell a new kind of health coverage. However, those plans might not be offered to people who have pre-existing ailments and they won’t qualify for federal subsidies to help pay premiums.
