The Exchange will be a central marketplace for individuals, families and small businesses to have access to affordable, quality health care.

Under the law, people will be able to sign up for the Exchange in October 2013, for coverage to start in 2014. The law is also explicit in that the Exchange must be accountable to the public and work for the benefit of the people and businesses that obtain health insurance coverage through it for themselves, their families and their employees.

Also through the Exchange, working Oregonians who cannot afford the high cost of premiums will have access to tax credits that will lower those costs.

Please send applications to Brandi Aston at brandi.aston@state.or.us no later than, Friday, September 23rd, 2011. If you have questions, please contact Rachel Oh at 503-407-9627.
