[Maryland] State lawmakers now want briefings on health exchange
Source: Baltimore Sun
State lawmakers may have abandoned hearings into what went wrong with the glitch-ridden health exchange, but they're now considering regular briefings to make sure the state is fixing it.
Sen. Thomas "Mac" Middleton said Wednesday the tentative plan is to resume briefings about how the exchange officials are repairing the site, how much it has cost, and future plans on whether to abandon it entirely.
"I'm looking for progress," said Middleton, the Senate Finance chariman, in an interview. He said he also wants as answers to "all those important questions."
Middleton stressed that "if and when it happens," Maryland's health secretary Joshua Sharfstein would be asked to explain "where they are and where they're going."
