Don't most of us operate a private exchange? You can go to my quote engine and run a quote for all carriers I contract with just like you will be able to do with the public exchange. I don't see the point of the article.

This can't possibly be true....an "exchange" is an entirely new concept....what will they think of next?? I'm thinking someone out there is working on a new invention called a "transaction".

Times are a changin.

Private to surpass public? Considering it's 100% private right now and public doesn't exist, I think that's a bit backwards.

And.... (drum roll please), then the government thought of a new term - marketplace. Well, there's a new one.

Wow..... poof....you just blew my mind. No wonder these guys are in charge... they're freakin geniuses. It must have been a Harvard MBA that figured this one out!

What next? Is somebody from the middle east is going to invent a "bazaar"? That'll be the day.

Like we said back on April 15th, PRIVATE exchanges will attract a wider array of companies than the regulation burdened public Exchange-Marketplaces.

And as the states come out with their (mostly) no-name public exchange health insurance company participants, it seems that the Private HIX participation may indeed surpass the Public HIX participation with those Americans who don't qualify for a taxpayer handout (subsidy)?

These articles are nothing more than blog posts. People are trying to create daily content.

If you look at the survey of 2,000 people, how many of them are decision makers in their company benefits?

I have not heard one word locally about an actual private exchange being established. I hear their are companies working on it.

The private exchange market could be geared for the groups that are over 100 and want to stay fully insured.
