States given more time to work on health exchanges Nov 9th 2012, 21:39 WASHINGTON | Fri Nov 9, 2012 4:23pm EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration gave states extra time to work on setting up new health insurance exchanges on Friday, three days after President Barack Obama's re-election ensured the survival of his healthcare reform law. U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said states must still tell her department by November 16 if they plan to set up their own health insurance exchanges. But they now have an additional month, until December 14, to file a blueprint showing how the exchange would operate, as outlined in a letter fromn Sebelius to state governors dated November 9. The administration also gave states an additional three months, until February 15, 2013, to say whether they would prefer instead to set up an exchange in partnership with the federal government.
