Following these changes, rural consumers experienced an increase in the number of available carriers and plans, along with a decrease in overall premiums. Specifically, 177 rural counties were moved into 27 mixed urban-rural rating areas, resulting in improved access to affordable health insurance options, although some disparities in plan choices and premiums between urban and rural areas remain. The findings suggest that similar adjustments in other states could benefit rural residents by enhancing their insurance choices and reducing costs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: statistics tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
