Da: Thursday, May 30, 2013
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on a report he requested from the Government Accountability Office, “Health Insurance: Seven States' Actions to Establish Exchanges under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.” Iowa is one of the seven states included in the report, which is available here.
“This report highlights the complexity states face in setting up exchanges and how CMS’ workload will increase dramatically in getting exchanges off the ground. The challenges that need to be overcome by October 1, 2013, remain significant.”
