Idaho officials say they may add more requirements from former President Barack Obama's health care law to their proposal to let health insurance companies sell so-called state-based policies that skirt some "Obamacare" rules. Meanwhile, Idaho officials are proposing a slightly different approach to determining premium costs and some other regulations, Cameron said, though the details are still under discussion. Cameron says the state-based plans are needed to save Idaho's insurance exchange as premiums continue to rise and some healthy residents opt to go uninsured. Still, Verma indicated her agency was sympathetic to Idaho officials' concerns, and the state has been deep in negotiations over the past few weeks. The agency also extended the 30-day deadline that Idaho had to respond, with a new deadline set for May 5.
