Fri 8/2/13 at Noon & 7PM: Vermont is the first state in the nation to finalize premium rates for the new state health care exchange, known as Vermont Health Connect. Beginning on January first, all individuals and businesses with fewer than 50 employees, will have to go through the exchange to purchase their insurance policies.
We'll look at what work remains to be done on the exchange, and answer your questions. Our guests are Mark Larson, commissioner of the Department of Vermont Health Access, and Robin Lunge, the governor’s director of the health care reform.
We have created a Health Care Exchange FAQ document from questions listeners have asked on our shows. We will keep adding to this document as we do more shows on the subject, so check back to see if your question is answered.
