I Don't Understand

why NY Republicans oppose the setting up of a Heath Insurance Exchange.

The original Health Insurance Exchange was established in Utah, hardly a hot bed of liberalism, to allow individuals to find health insurance in a easy manner with competition at the heart of the process.

That would be a good thing for every state to have as long as Health Insurance is neither a Single Payer Plan nor singularly regulated at the Federal level.  Regardless of what happens to the Affordable Health Care Act in the Supreme Court, neither of those conditions will occur.

Thus, I applaud Andrew Cuomo's executive order authorizing the NY State Health Insurance Department to set up a Health Insurance Exchange.

As someone who is shopping for an individual policy at the moment, it would be much appreciated to have this in place already.
