If you’re curious about how the health insurance exchanges required under the Affordable Care Act will actually function, Minnesota has released some prototype exchanges for the public to sample. Some are a little flashier than others, but they all seem designed to make shopping for health insurance akin to shopping on Amazon. My work duties will focus exclusively on health care reform for the foreseeable future, so I’ll likely be playing with these modules and their successors. The exchange will likely be responsible for determining Medicaid eligibility, which will require some truly nimble programming skills. All you tech consulting firms are about to become very busy.
