State Insurance Exchange Board Faces Range of Issues
California was the first state in the nation to set up a Health Benefit Exchange Board, which will oversee the state's online health insurance exchange. The board now must address a number of issues, such as how participating health plans should be regulated, how to administer federal subsidies to help low-income individuals purchase insurance, and balancing the number of healthy and sick individuals in the exchange.
