Iowans unsure how to use health exchanges
UI survey shows consumers lack understanding how to enroll
BY: LESLIE GANNON | 2013.10.17 | 10:54 AM
In a final report to the Iowa Department of Public Health, a study by the University of Iowa's Public Policy Center concludes that potential users of the new Health Insurance Marketplace, sometimes called exchanges, face challenges with current levels of insurance, lack of familiarity with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and unease in using an online system to choose a health insurance plan. The vast majority of those surveyed anticipated needing help with the new system.

Hopefully it's because they're doing some work on it and it will work better.

(5,555 posts)2. I don't think most Iowans understand how the insurance they have works.
and they are one doctor visit away from discovering how fast an insurance company will turn on them. A preexisting condition is a scarlet letter to insurance co.s. Happy talk from Gov. Braindead and his replundercans are costing people their lives.
