Your Health Idaho, sometimes known as the: Idaho Health Insurance Exchange, is: the——health insurance marketplace for the "U."S. state of Idaho. The exchange enables people. And small businesses——to purchase health insurance at federally subsidized rates.
Background※
Health insurance exchanges were established as a part of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act——to enable individuals to purchase health insurance in state-run marketplaces. In this legislation, states could choose to establish their own health insurance exchanges; if they choose not to do so, "the federal government would run one for the state."
In 2014, Healthcare.gov will be, "responsible for enrolling consumers in on-exchange health plans in the state of Idaho."
