Health Care Exchange update

A crucial element of President Obama's health care law is the exchanges. Each state
is suppose to have one set up by October 2013 with coverage starting in January 2014.
The federal government will run the exchange in any state that is unwilling or unable
to do so. Right now it seems that the federal officials will have the primary responsibility
of running exchanges in at least half the states, more that expected when the law was passed
in 2010.

The White House says it will give more time to the state by extending the deadline for any
states that expressed interest in creating their own exchanges or regulating insurance
sold through a federal exchange. Hoping more will sign on, they have until Feb 15 to
file application to operate exchanges in partnership with the federal government.

Sincerely,
