Health Insurance Exchanges

There's been a lot of discussion lately about the possible mandate for individuals to carry health insurance - much like we're obliged to have an auto insurance policy if we drive. A key enabler of the individual mandate is a means for every person to comparison shop for, and purchase, health insurance.

In an Amazon.com-like fashion, health insurance exchanges seek to fill that need. My company, CSC, built the U.S.'s first health insurance exchange: The Commonwealth Connector.

Given the current health reform debate, I thought it would be timely to write a case study on our successes and lessons learned from the experience so that other State and Federal entities could benefit. Just this week, my piece was published at HealthNewsDigest.com, and the link to it is here.

As always, I welcome your feedback.
