On Thursday Jan. 3, 2013 Obama administration approved plans by
seven states to create health insurance exchanges.
That brings the total to 17 states that the White House has signed
off on blueprints for those states to operate their own exchanges
in 2014, as long as they continue to meet certain benchmarks over
the course of the next year.
There is more work to be done for these states to be ready for open
enrollment in October, but the director of the department's Center
for Consumer Information believes they've made significant progress.
The majority of states did not submit applications to run their own
marketplace. They now have a couple of options. These states can
decide to partner with the federal government overseeing certain parts
of the new exchange, or leave the entire task to the Obama administration.
By Feb. 15, 2014 the States must notify the federal government of which
option they will pursue.
Sincerely,
