Tomorrow, the new health insurance marketplaces under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are scheduled to start signing up customers. South Dakota is one of thirty-six states letting the federal government set up its insurance marketplace. The on-line marketplace allows people to buy health insurance as part of an effort to reduce the numbers of uninsured. In South Dakota, the state Division of Insurance has certified Avera Health Plans, Sanford Health Plan and Dakotacare. Melissa Klemann, Assistant Director of Life and Health Insurance with the South Dakota Division of Insurance, discussed the new health insurance marketplaces.
