Quote of the Day

“I think almost any objective observer with major IT project experience would also say that the time frame most states followed [to develop their insurance exchange] was insufficient for the scope of the work….That was certainly the case for the federal exchange, and a lot of the states didn’t get started as early as the feds because they had to wait for state legislative action to authorize the state-based exchanges. The date was set by statute, not with any thoughtful consideration for how long projects of this magnitude should actually take.” — An executive who asked not to be identified told AIS’s Inside Health Insurance Exchanges.
