This map currently shows that nationwide 63 counties are projected to have no issuers, representing over 70,000 Americans in these counties that could be without coverage on the exchanges in 2018. It is also projected that 1,472 counties -- over 45 percent of counties nationwide -- could have only one issuer in 2018. This could represent more than 2.6 million exchange participants with only one health insurance option, which means they will not have any choices.
