Abstract:
A health insurance exchange facilitates personal, portable insurance independent of the place of work; makes efforts to insure the uninsured more targeted and effective, breaking the cycle of rotation in and out of coverage and reducing the number of uninsured; and provides the administrative framework needed to reach the hardest to insure and cover them efficiently and effectively.
