The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became law on March 23, 2010. Health Insurance Benefit Exchanges are mechanisms created by the Act to help individuals, families and small businesses shop for health insurance coverage in a way that permits easy comparison of available insurance plans based on price, benefits, services and quality. The Health Benefits Exchange Division is federally funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
