A variety of pressing economic and health issues were addressed at the National Association of Governors (NGA) annual 2011 meeting held in Salt Lake City, including elements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) as well as state budgets.
Hearing on Exchanges
Among other issues, NGA hosted a panel session on July 16 entitled, “Health Insurance Exchange Implementation.”[1] “The Affordable Care Act requires the establishment of one or two health insurance exchanges in each state and territory that are ready to enroll individuals in health plans by October 2013 for coverage effective January 1, 2014,” said Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, chair of NGA’s Health and Human Services Committee. “The release of new federal regulations this week makes this a very timely topic. Governors need more information so they can make the best decisions for their states.”[2]
