Ks Braces for Opening of Health Care Exchanges
(AP) - Advocates of the health care overhaul have seemingly coalesced around a unified message for Kansas consumers. They urge people not to rush to enroll until glitches in the system are worked out in the coming weeks.
Some Kansas health care groups still have not hired all the "navigators" for which they have been awarded federal grants to explain the plans. Some are still training for many other new hires. Some material like Spanish-language pamphlets ordered in June have not arrived yet.
Enrollment begins Tuesday and consumers have until Dec. 15 to enroll if they want their coverage to start in January.
Kansas Insurance Commissioner urged the public Monday to give the exchanges time to work out the bugs. She says why hurry - let someone else be the guinea pig.
