RE: The Taxpayer-Funded Louisiana Co-Op Created Under Obamacare Has Collapsed

Was Presidential Candidate Bobby Jindal involved with this?

I would be sorely disappointed if he were.

[Robert DeLong]

The Affordable Care Act passed into law March 2010 provided seed money to fund health insurance cooperatives in all 50 states. Section 1322 of the ACA requires that a health cooperative, known as a "Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan” (CO-OP) is formed as a nonprofit, controlled by and operated on behalf of its members/consumers.

CO-OPs, like LAHC , are non-profit, member-governed health insurance companies with a focus on developing programs intended to improve the quality of health care delivered to members, such as:

preventive programs offered with early health screenings; focusing on health outcomes based on sound clinical evidence;

ongoing measurement and comparison of performance to clinical quality standards;

a comprehensive medical network;

coordinated care programs;

opportunities for members to participate in their care.

A CO-OP uses profits for members’ benefit, and is designed to offer individuals and small businesses affordable, customer-friendly, and high-quality health insurance options.

So to answer your question, no. Jindal had nothing to do with this.

As far as I know LA’s exchange is a federal one? These are old links, but may be helpful.

Gov. Jindal confirms Louisiana won’t do health insurance exchange, report says.
