Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said Thursday that federal officials did not respond to his request for an extension in the deadline for approving rates in the upcoming state insurance exchange.

Wednesday was the deadline. Because he didn’t get a response in his request for more time, Hudgens said, he was left “with no viable option’’ but to approve the premiums submitted by health insurers.

Hudgens said the insurer filings contain “massive rate hikes.’’

State grudgingly OKs insurance rates for exchange | Georgia Health News
 
Georgia's Exchange program is operated by the Federal Government, yet is seems that the Georgia Department of Insurance is doing all the work and making all of the decisions. It seems like HHS has no actual people there in the state coordinating or overseeing anything.

I wonder if all states with Federally-Owned Exchanges have this much control? If things don't work properly, who is to blame?
