Wall Street Journal Interviews Joel Ario on Exchange Launch
"Health Exchanges Open for Business"
The Wall Street Journal
October 1, 2013 - The Wall Street Journal interviewed Manatt's Joel Ario, a managing director with Manatt Health Solutions, on the first look at health insurance exchanges, which launched October 1.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, consumers can now shop in the online marketplaces to compare monthly prices, deductibles and other details of health plans, as well as buy coverage. On the exchanges, many consumers will get a first clear look at the prices available to them to buy coverage. However, officials and independent analysts expect most incoming enrollees to sign up late this year, in November and December.
"It's going to be a long, hard slog," said Ario.
