Uncertainty may be flooding the health care market after a Texas judge’s ruling on the Affordable Care Act, but in Colorado there is some good news: There’s another sign pointing to the individual market stabilizing. Insurers didn’t lose as much money on the individual market last year as they did in 2016 and 2015, according to a new report by the Colorado Division of Insurance. As for consumers, officials offered good news: They’re likely to see lower increases in their health insurance premiums than in previous years. “We’ve been waiting for this market to reach stability for four or five years now, and this could possibility be it, if these data are the start of the trend,” said Joe Hanel, managing director of communications for Colorado Health Institute. The first signs of stability in the individual market came earlier this year when insurers asked for one of the smallest premium hikes in years. After years of double-digit increases, the Division of Insurance approved just 5.6 percent average increases in premiums for plans on the individual market, which are sold both on and off the state’s health insurance exchange. Roughly 250,000 Coloradans get their health insurance on the individual market.
