The implementation of the Affordable Care Act remains a critical issue for the upcoming tax season. Because the Affordable Care Act has provided states with significant flexibility in the design and structure of their individual Marketplaces, hundreds of policy and operational decisions had to be addressed during the Marketplace implementation process. CBPP has evaluated both State-based Marketplaces and State Partnership Marketplaces (partnerships between the federal government and states) across a number of Marketplace design questions and compiled the information in an interactive tool.
This tool should be helpful for both advocates and service providers as they strive to better understand each state’s implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
