Description:
Report summarizing the framework set for the California Health Benefit Exchange, providing updates on its inception and presenting important decisions that will need to be made over the next few years. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), signed into law on March 23, 2010 by President Barack Obama, requires that states either create their own Exchanges or join a federal Exchange by January 1, 2014. The federal law allows states flexibility in constructing their Exchanges in terms of their relationships with public programs, governance, outreach, roles of brokers and CAAs, and whether they will be statewide or regional. Just over six months after the bill was signed, California became the first state to pass legislation creating a health benefit exchange.
