Nevada's exchange confusion to get worse

http://www.reviewjournal.com/business/confusion-likely-nevada-health-exchange-switches




The thought of this whole exchange stuff getting changed over just scares me. After the long 9 month wrestle I had with our current system, now I get to do it all over again next year. Not only that, but now I have to rely upon them transferring all of my client's data over from the current system to the federal system.
As a Nevada resident, I feel a little ripped off on this. We spent $15 million building a website that we have now decided to just scrap. Instead of just hiring a new company to fix the broken site, which actually works sometimes, we would rather call it quits. Now in less than 5 months we have to rely upon someone else trying to build a new one completely.
This could all become a great blessing for brokers though. It is important for people to find professional, knowledgeable people to work with. People tend to find this value more appealing when they themselves feel overwhelmed. This whole process has shown that shopping for health insurance isn't really something people do on their own. The new law isn't very easy to understand and how it can affect people has yet to be seen. I am actually a little concerned about people who did everything on their own. They might get a real awakening during tax season.
