  “As employers evaluate the implications of public and private Exchanges, the importance of their partnerships with carriers will continue to grow. Employers will look for carriers that provide value, make benefits administration easier, help employees make better benefit decisions and provide excellent customer service.” Vishal Jain, Vice President, Strategy, Planning and Business Insights, Prudential Group Insurance
 
Factoid

The proportion of marketplace plan selections by persons between the ages of 18 and 34 has been increasing; they account for nearly a quarter of all marketplace plan selections, both SBMs [state-based marketplaces] and FFM [federally facilitated marketplace], for the first four months of the initial open enrollment period, compared to 24% during the first three months of the initial open enrollment and 27% during the month of January.
