We are only one week away from Open Enrollment for the exchanges. Yes, there is a lot going on politically as we close in on October 1. I won’t comment on the political wranglings since that’s not my job! However, there is tremendous concern as to whether the exchanges will be ready by October 1 or not. According to a report by the Dept. of Health and Human Services, the main issue is the security of the government’s data hub that will be used in the exchanges.
A huge public awareness campaign will soon be launched in Georgia and all over the nation. Each state has received substantial funds so they can get the word out. The message is geared towards people who will benefit from enrolling in the exchange (aka: marketplace). There is still a lot of confusion surrounding the new health insurance marketplace. Most people still don’t know how they will be impacted. Hopefully, the public awareness campaign will help bring some clarity.
