• Resumen

  • Health insurance exchanges are a key component of the Affordable Care Act. Each exchange faces the challenge of minimizing friction with existing policies, coordinating churn between programs, and maximizing take-up. State-run exchanges would likely be better positioned to address these issues than a federally run exchange, yet only one third of states chose this path. Policymakers must ensure that their exchange-whether state or federally run- succeeds. Whether this happens will greatly depend on the political dynamics in each state. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
