States Hesitate on Health Insurance Exchanges While Future of Reform Law Remains Uncertain

Many states are hesitating on the design and implementation of health insurance exchanges as the Supreme Court waits to decide the constitutionality of the healthcare reform law, according to a New York Times report.

The Supreme Court decision, expected this summer, or next November's presidential election could determine whether central elements of the healthcare reform law are overturned or repealed. These decisions come late in the game for states, which must submit plans of action for health insurance exchanges by Jan. 1, 2013.

At the beginning of 2013, the Obama administration will determine whether each state is ready to run its own exchange or whether the federal government should step in with its own model.
