Progress Reports
Federal and state health officials appear to be delayed in setting up new health insurance exchanges for small businesses and consumers and it "cannot yet be determined" whether the exchanges will be ready to open in October, according to a pair of reports released today by the Government Accountability Office. In the reports, GAO acknowledged that state and federal officials have made significant progress in developing the regulatory framework and guidance to implement the exchanges. However, GAO added that state and federal officials still have major work to complete before open enrollment begins Oct. 1, noting that it is unclear if they will meet the deadline.
