Iowans unsure how to use health exchanges

Iowans unsure how to use health exchanges
UI survey shows consumers lack understanding how to enroll

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.

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.
