This targets the elderly and terminally ill, especially cancer patients. “SelectHealth — Intermountain Healthcare’s insurance arm — and University of Utah Health Plans want the state to reopen a high-risk insurance pool, a sore subject for many Utahns with pre-existing medical conditions. . . Utah’s former pool ‘couldn’t cover those who needed it most’ . . . The state established Utah’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool (HIPUtah) in 1991 and coverage was offered through SelectHealth.
Eligibility was extremely limited, wait lists stretched six to 10 months for those with pre-existing conditions, and there were annual and lifetime caps on coverage. Premiums were comparable to what they are now on some ACA plans, she said, but with high deductibles and out-of-pocket costs.
The program was also costly, Ossana said, and regularly ran out of funds.”
