As open enrollment continues, Obamacare prices in some regions of Illinois are increasing as roughly 20 percent, according to the Department of Insurance.

Among the 480 plan offerings, there are now three new issuers in the state’s marketplace, including Aetna, Celtic and Harkin. Across all counties, each county has a minimum of 37 plans to choose from, which is a decrease from 56 in 2015.
