LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A commission created to monitor Nebraska's new health insurance marketplace is recommending that the state continue to let the federal government run the operation.
The Nebraska Exchange Stakeholder Commission said in a report this week that building a state-run marketplace would be "difficult at best," given the lack of federal funding and the problems other states experienced after setting up their own systems.
The report comes one month after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that could jeopardize federal tax credits for Nebraska and other states that use a federally facilitated marketplace. Nebraska is one of 27 that declined to set up its own system.
Commission chairman J.J. Green of Grand Island says the group opted for a wait-and-see approach while the case moves through the courts.
