Connecticut Opens “Obamacare Store” To Boost Enrollment

Updated on

Enrollment for Obamacare ends at midnight tonight. And while we wait for the final results, there’s one state that already stands out — Connecticut. To boost enrollment it set up retail shops for residents to meet brokers face-to-face and is now marketing its health exchange expertise to other states — for a price. Bloomberg Television’s Olivia Sterns visited Connecticut to see the enrollment in action and interviews Kevin Counihan, CEO of Access Health, CT.

Kevin Counihan, CEO of Access Health, CT told Sterns: “We are trying to make this like a retail experience. To be frank, we really try to model a lot that we do off Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). We are trying to make this like a retail experience. To be frank, we really try to model a lot that we do off Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)… We’ve had about 16,800 people visit the store and over.”

Counihan tells Sterns that he is hoping he could outsource the entire exchange to other states.
