Open Left

The House bill would expand access to the new health insurance exchange fairly rapidly. In year one, 2013, only individuals without employer provided insurance and the "smallest" employers (25 or fewer employees) would have access to the exchange. In year two, 2014, "smaller" employers (50 or fewer employees) could access the exchange. By year three, 2015, all "small" employers (100 or fewer employees) would gain access to the exchange, and the exchange Commissioner could permit larger employers (greater than 100 employees) to be eligible for the exchange.
