Washington, DC, On-Line Exchanges To Be Delayed Six Weeks
Link here.
Just days away from launch, the District of Columbia's health marketplace is announcing a pretty significant delay.
While the D.C. Health Link will launch a Web site on October 1,
shoppers will not have access to the their premium prices until
mid-November. The delay comes after the District marketplace discovered
"a high error rate" in calculating the tax credits that low- and
middle-income people will use to purchase insurance on the marketplace.
The insurance marketplaces, if working as plan, are supposed to spit
out an estimate for a tax credit after a shopper enters in some basic
information about where she lives and how much she earns. In the
District, that won't happen next month. Instead, the eligibility
determination will be made "off-line by experts" by early November.
