Congress stalls on health insurance subsidies, Idahoans have week to enroll on exchange

Idahoans have a week to pick or switch health insurance plans on the state’s exchange, as open enrollment for Your Health Idaho ends Dec. 15.

And unless Congress extends tax credits that deeply subsidize health insurance costs, Idahoans’ average premiums are expected to double on the exchange next year, possibly prompting thousands to cancel their policies.
