USA Health Insurance Marketplaces


Some bipartisan cooperation may
finally be breaking out in the nation's
contentious battle over health care overhaul.

The Obama administration announced Thursday that
four red states are on the list of those getting
the initial go-ahead to build their own health
insurance marketplaces. Open enrollment for
millions of uninsured Americans is less than 10
months away.

The GOP-led states — Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and
Utah — joined five others getting conditional
approval from Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius.

Counting previous approvals, 17 states plus
Washington, D.C., have been cleared to run their
own insurance exchanges.
Washington will set up the new insurance markets
in states that don't want to participate.
But at least nine other states are considering
partnerships with the administration.
