Ohio Insurer Fills Obamacare's Last 'Bare' County Politico by Paul Demko — Every county in the country will now have at least one insurer selling Obamacare plans next year. CareSource agreed to offer coverage in Paulding County, Ohio, a rural area along the Indiana border that was the country's last remaining bare county, the Ohio Department of Insurance announced this morning. Despite President Donald Trump's claims that Obamacare is "dead" and repeal efforts in Congress, the Ohio announcement is the latest evidence that the health care law's insurance markets are proving to be resilient. The Trump administration has repeatedly cited dwindling competition as evidence that Obamacare is failing and must be scrapped. Nearly half of the counties nationwide, predominantly in rural areas, will only have one insurer next year.
