Comments on: D.C. may undermine support for ‘Obamacare’ http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/08/09/d-c-may-undermine-support-for-obamacare/ the gay community's news source Wed, 19 Jun 2013 04:48:12 +0000 hourly 1 By: Peter Rosenstein http://www.washingtonblade.com/2012/08/09/d-c-may-undermine-support-for-obamacare/#comment-62037 Peter Rosenstein Tue, 14 Aug 2012 17:18:44 +0000 http://www.washingtonblade.com/?p=47228#comment-62037 This has absolutely nothing to do with corruption which is a lot less rampant in DC government than it is in many other City and State governments. This has to do with there being comparatively few people in the District who actually need the exchanges and they can’t function without a certain number of people participating. It may have been better for DC to actually use the federal exchange rather than do its own but that will remain to be seen.

C. government? It would seem that requiring all of the insurance to go through the exchange would provide a pretty pot of money for them to dip into.

I wrote about this back in May in a Huffington Post column and have been meeting with various City Officials since then. I have also talked with the new Chair of the Exchange Authority in DC about these issues.

The Exchange Authority will be holding its next meeting on August 21st and it is open to the public.
