HHS has already awarded $50 million to 49 states and the District of Columbia in 2010 to plan their exchanges, and it expects to make more grant awards in the coming months, the release said.

• Easy, simple access to coverage for consumers and small businesses.
• Health insurance premium tax credit.
• Medicaid eligibility.
Affordable insurance exchanges, part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, will allow eligible families, individuals and small businesses to shop for coverage starting in 2014, and HHS will now look for public comment and hold forums on the proposed rules.
