Status Check: How Are State-Run Health Exchanges Holding Up?

KHN examines the growing pains being experienced in certain states that are running their own online insurance marketplaces. Meanwhile, the Seattle Times offers an update in action from Washington.

The states that set up their own insurance marketplaces have nothing to lose in King V. Burwell, the big Supreme Court case that will be decided by the end of June.

Here are dispatches from Minnesota, Colorado and Connecticut on this tricky transition. (6/4)

More than 100 small businesses in Washington are covering their workers through the state’s health-insurance exchange, officials announced Thursday.

(Stiffler, 6/4)
