The article also says that plans/companies sold through the "Covered California" exchange to San Diego residents will be different from those sold to people in Los Angelos, which will be different from the plans/companies sold to residents of the San Francisco area.
Does this mean that a San Diego resident would be "out of network" if she needed medical care in another part of the state? I guess keeping it simple wouldn't make the people in charge of this thing seem important enough, or give them long-term job security.
Reminds me of how the manager of our local Target store has things re-arranged all the time to make him seem indispensible. In reality, he's an annoyance to the customers.

Are there 850 of you that want to hang it up and go work for the exchange? I know after listening to the calif call, the IFP exchange will not be collecting premium, but the SHOP exchange will be. Looks like they've taken the route of fee assessments on carriers to generate revenue to pay for the overhead.
California exchange to need 850 customer service reps | LifeHealthPro
Juli Baker has told exchange managers in a written report, for example, that Covered California managers to expect to fill 850 people to do customer support.
In 2015, for example, managers are predicting that the exchange programs could be serving 1.6 million people, collecting $8.6 billion in premium revenue, and getting $258 million in revenue from assessments on participating health plans.

Let's do the math. $8.6 billion in premium divided by 1.6 million people = an $5,375 annual premium per person ($447.92 monthly). The 1.6 million people is comprised of men, women and children, and most of the enrollees in the exchange would be families. So, for a family of four, that's a $21,500 annual ($1791.67 monthly) as an average family-of-four premium. According to Kaiser's report September 2012, the average family premium for employer-sponsored group health insurance in California was $15, 745. Individual/family plans cost even less.
$258 million in "assesments" on 8.6 billion in premium is 3% commission - opps "assessment" - for the exchange's services of marketing and enrolling people (i.e. - our job).
