Deadline Day: 50 States' Stances on Insurance Exchanges

Today is the deadline for states to decide whether they will run state-operated health insurance exchanges or default to federal exchanges.

States that are leaving their exchange to the federal government still have until February to decide whether they will operate under a federal-state partnership, although some states have already made that decision.

Here are the decisions as they stand, with statuses from Florida, Michigan and Utah yet to be confirmed.

Data is based on reports from Kaiser Health News and data from Avalere.
