Ill. Suspends Insurer's ACA Payments

A cash-strapped Illinois health insurer won’t be sending ObamaCare payments to Washington until the feds pay their bill first, according to the state’s top insurance official. 

The acting director of the Illinois Insurance Department is preventing Land of Lincoln Health, the state’s troubled Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP), from paying money owed under the Affordable Care Act unless Washington hands over funds the insurer says are due under a separate but similar provision of the law.
