Affordable Insurance Exchanges

The Affordable Care Act helps create a competitive private health insurance market through the creation of Affordable Insurance Exchanges. These State-based, competitive marketplaces, which launch in 2014, will provide millions of Americans and small businesses with “one-stop shopping” for affordable coverage. They will also provide the sole venue where Members of Congress will get their health insurance.

CCIIO has proposed rules outlining a framework that will enable States to build Affordable Insurance Exchanges. For detailed information about the Exchanges, visit HealthCare.gov.

You can access the proposed rules under “Regulations and Guidance” below.
