HHS Begins Planning of National Healthcare
The Department of Health and Human Services has announced the first two steps of a new plan in the Affordable Care Act that would partner states with other stakeholders to begin to establish health insurance Exchanges. The concept behind each Exchange would be to provide a marketplace for people who are not covered through their employers to shop for health insurance under the national healthcare plan.
Each state will be allotted up to $1 million in grants to help the states begin establishing health insurance Exchanges.
The Exchanges are set to start in 2014 and will give individuals and small businesses a greater choice of options in their healthcare. It will also make it easier for insurance shoppers to compare the available national health insurance packages.
“With most states struggling to keep their budgets in balance, these grants will give them the resources to conduct the research and planning needed to build the health insurance marketplace of the future,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. “We are working hand-in-hand with states as we carefully implement the Exchanges to make sure they best meet people’s health insurance needs.”
The Exchange grants will be used by states to conduct the research and planning needed to build a better health insurance marketplace and determine how their Exchanges will be operated and governed. If a state chooses not to create its own Exchange, they can partner with other states to create a regional exchange. If they choose not to, HHS will help establish one on their behalf.
While the programs are being developed, HHS is asking states, consumer advocates, employers, insurers and anyone else with an opinion or ideas to provide input to help HHS develop regulations for national healthcare.
