The Assembly President John Perez believes the bill creates the framework for the exchange of California that will need to be effective by 2014. Some critics argue that the measure is premature, but officials in California will need time to establish the exchange notes of San Francisco Chronicle .
President Perez believes that the new bill will allow the state to do what it takes to federal legislation, while creating new jobs.
The exchanges will allow individuals and small business owners to buy health insurance online and small businesses will be able to come together to act as a large group. Exchanges, also called markets, will enable consumers to be able to shop and compare health insurance quotes, much like GoHealthInsurance.com. People who are eligible for federal grants will be able to apply for these online.
However, the details on how state exchanges work and how the new laws on the legislation on federal health care will interact with the old laws have not been determined. The Ministry of Health and Social Services should establish federal exchanges that will help states model their exchanges in the month.
"The exchange will play a central role in the ultimate implementation of the new law, as conceived today," said Marian Mulkey, program the main agent in the California HealthCare Foundation.
States will have sufficient time to set up their government contracts and make sure they conform to federal law. It will be interesting to see what they produce.
