It looks like the California Health Benefit Exchange will be moving ahead despite not hearing from the Supreme Court yet. In an article from the Los Angeles Times, by Chad Terhune, it is reported that California plans to pay Accenture $360 million to build and operate an enrollment system for the Exchange. They hope to have everything up and running for enrollments in October 1, 2013 for a January 1, 2014 start date. The contract still needs to be approved by the federal government.
Exactly how the exchange will look and the amount of subsidies available are still up in the air. Of course, much of what will take place depends on Federal Subsidies, and if the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is overturned by the Supreme Court than all bets are off. California still plans on moving ahead with the Exchange, but without the subsidies it may not be a strong program. As more information becomes available we will post it on this blog.
