HEALTH CARE: New insurance exchange is forum focus

Press-Enterprise
State officials rolled out information on California's consumer exchange for medical insurance — a program triggered by federal health care reform — during a town hall meeting in Riverside on Thursday, April 26. About 200 health care providers, residents and insurance agents got the lowdown on the health benefit exchange, Covered California, which will allow about 4 million uninsured people to compare and buy coverage. The forum at University of California Riverside Extension was the first in a series across the state.
