Healthcare Exchanges In The Midwest: A Progress Report

Now that the major components of the Affordable Care Act survived both the U.S. Supreme Court and the recent presidential elections, the focus has begun to shift in the next logical step in implementing reform: the construction of the state health benefit exchanges. Beginning in 2014, they will be used to enroll millions of middle-income Americans who had limited options for purchasing healthcare insurance prior to the ACA.

However, the exchanges have been a center of controversy – the governors of many Midwestern states say they will not construct their own.

Many questions remain. Which health plans will participate in the exchange? Will they include Medicaid managed care plans? Will there be specific differences in exchange options from county to county? What will the premium structure look like? What are the risks for adverse selection?

Participants will be able to:

Understand where the construction and ramping up of the applicable state exchanges currently stand.
Find out how consumers will benefit from the exchanges.
Get a clearer idea of which health plans will participate, which will not, and how their operations will be affected.
Understand how the tax subsidies for those using the exchanges will be deployed.
How the exchanges development will be communicated and marketed to the media and the public.
