During the 2016 open enrollment period, about 195,000 people who purchased private plans through the Ohio marketplace qualified for subsidies, Dayton Daily News reported. On average, monthly premiums increased by $4 dollars last year. Still, 49,000 Ohioans did not receive subsidies this year, and could shoulder full premium increases next year.
Highest rate changes for individual plans include Louisville, Ky.-based Humana at 39.25 percent, Dayton-based Premier Health Plan at 39.23 percent and Cincinnati-based HealthSpan at 31.96 percent. Proposed rates await regulatory approval.
