Obamacare's Check-Up:  Evaluating NY State of Health and Healthcare.gov's Rollout

At the midpoint of the open enrollment period for the new coverage options available as part of theAffordable Care Act, the initial rocky launch of the national healthcare.gov has drawn criticism from all corners, opponents of the law are screaming the program itself is a failure, and supporters of the law are white knuckling every press cycle.  But the story in New York, with the launch of NY State of Health, has been on the whole more positive.  There are also signs that the law has actually begun to deliver on the promise of quality, affordable health care for individuals, families, and small businesses who had no options before.  We'll examine the rollout of the NY-specific and federal health insurance marketplaces:  what went wrong, what went right, and what it might mean for the policy and politics of Obamacare in 2014.

Our speaker: Tim Foley, Political Director, Committee of Interns and Residents/ SEIU Healthcare. He is a widely known expert and speaker on the subject of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare).
