Health Republic Insurance of New Jersey is folding after the state's insurance commissioner put the Obamacare co-op in "rehabilitation" due to its hazardous financial condition.
The co-op had a liability of $46.3 million under the Affordable Care Act's risk adjustment program, according to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.
The closing will force 35,000 customers served by the New Jersey co-op to find a new plan in 2017.
The co-op was initially awarded $107.2 million in taxpayer-funded loans in 2012 and received an additional $1.9 million in 2013.
