Health Reform: Health Insurance Exchanges Explained
Health Insurance Exchanges Explained
As I detail one of the biggest parts of the new US health reform act, bear with me. The exchanges are part of President Obama’s US health reform act. This was signed in March of 2010. However, health insurance exchanges are only implemented in a few places right now. They are scheduled to be implemented, by each state, by 2014. So things are still fluid, and this means that things could change.
The fact that things are fluid, and that the actual program has not yet been implemented, probably explains why a lot of the information is a bit confusing and vague. I am doing my best to reduce the information to something simple.
