Bill > PPACA placeholder

This Unknown document serves as a placeholder to track health insurance exchange initiatives for Alaska, as mandated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), commonly known as Obamacare. The PPACA requires each state to establish a health insurance exchange, which is a marketplace where individuals and small businesses can purchase health insurance. Since many states are forming committees to develop their specific implementation plans for these exchanges, this "dummy bill" for Alaska is being used to organize information related to the state's progress on this matter, even though no actual legislation has been introduced yet.
