colorado health benefits exchange

Bob Semro's piece on "Get Covered Colorado," our state's health insurance exchange,  (Straight talk on health care reform: 'Get Covered Colorado' website explains health benefit marketplace) was posted as part of Viewpoints on the Kaiser Health News website.

Colorado's Health Benefit Exchange is on schedule and heading for a successful startup on Oct. 1, 2013, top officials told lawmakers on Thursday.

On that date, Colorado citizens and small businesses (with 50 or fewer employees) will be able to easily compare and shop for affordable health insurance coverage in a brand-new online marketplace. The exchange is a key feature of the Affordable Care Act and is designed to help more Coloradans get insurance.
