New Mexico Opens State Run Exchange for Small Businesses
New Mexico reports early success for its state run health insurance exchange for small businesses. In first 45 minutes, 29 firms with 50 or fewer workers signed up, enabling workers to pick plans next month. Some individuals still faced access issues via the federal system and long wait times on toll free lines. Corianne Mason of the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty blamed rushed rollout and misinformation while noting many clinics will serve as health care guides to assist enrollment. Mike Nunez praised the new system and toll free center, with average caller wait under three minutes and fewer than 200 calls by midafternoon.
