As full-scale implementation of health care reform nears ever closer, looming heavy on the minds of employers, insurers and health care providers, questions continue to swirl around numerous key aspects,? with California?s online health benefits exchanges high among the issues.

The goal of Covered California, and other similar exchanges throughout the country, is twofold: to help residents without employer-based health insurance navigate the individual market and find affordable plans, and to similarly help small business achieve the same goal.

In each designated area, Covered California anticipates on having no fewer than six health plans participate, and up to eight in Northern California.
