From the Casper WyomingTribune: The federal government likely will face tough sledding, at least initially, when it starts operating a health insurance marketplace for Wyoming residents this fall, the state’s insurance commissioner told lawmakers at a hearing in Casper on Tuesday.
Commissioner Tom Hirsig briefed the Legislature’s Joint Labor, Health and Social Services Interim Committee that the complexity of the Affordable Care Act makes it difficult to implement.
“The difficulty with this whole Affordable Care Act is it touches individuals differently,” Hirsig said. “There are so many pieces to this that trying to get all the pieces of this out in the open is going to be difficult.”
Wyoming and more than
30 other states have elected to have the federal government handle health insurance marketplaces, online exchanges that will offer citizens government-approved insurance coverage.
Hirsig said Wyoming’s marketplace is scheduled to start operations in October. While Hirsig said a couple of insurance companies have submitted proposals to the federal government to offer coverage in Wyoming, he said the state so far has received no information about what the coverage will cost.

Higher insurance costs, not being able to keep your same insurance or doctors and lack of information, all with the IRS running the program.
ObamaCare, like most liberal policies, already is a failure and it hasn't even started yet.
