Background
Health insurance exchanges were established as a part of the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to enable individuals to purchase health insurance in state-run marketplaces.[1] In this legislation, states could choose to establish their own health insurance exchanges; if they choose not to do so, the federal government would run one for the state.[1]
In 2014, Healthcare.gov was responsible for enrolling consumers in on-exchange health plans in the state of Idaho.
