Feds ink insurance exchange deal with eHealth
Call it Obamacare.com.
The federal government has signed a landmark deal setting the stage for leading online insurance exchange eHealthInsurance.com to enroll potentially millions of people on new Obamacare marketplaces being operated by the government, it was revealed Wednesday in a filing with Securities and Exchange Commission.
That deal, experts have said, could dramatically boost enrollment in those marketplaces and help keep premium costs low—both key goals of the Affordable Care Act signed by President Obama in 2010—by drawing customers who land at eHealthInsurance.com's website through Google searches and other avenues.
The breakthrough after months of negotiations lays the groundwork for eHealthInsurance to soon begin enrolling people who qualify for government insurance subsidies on the 36 marketplaces that the federal government is either running for individual states or in partnership with states this year.
