COLORADO - Health Insurance Exchange

"Colorado Struggles to Educate, Enroll Residents in New Health Insurance Exchange" PBS Newshour 6/25/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour):  .....spreading the word about the new health reform law.

It's a crucial challenge for the federal government and states, creating so-called insurance exchanges.  Last week, an independent arm of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, reported that work is running behind.  Yesterday, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters she still believes seven million people will enroll in the first year of the program.  But she acknowledged, "The most daunting aspect is that people still don't know enough about what's going to change in the law, and still have some misinformation."

NewsHour health correspondent Betty Ann Bowser reports on Colorado's efforts to tackle the problem.
