A potential clash looms between the Democratic-controlled
Legislature and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez over the administration's plan
to implement a state-run health insurance exchange.
At issue is whether state
law must be changed to create the exchange, which is envisioned as an online
shopping center for the uninsured to buy health coverage.
The administration
contends no legislation is needed and plans to have the exchange operated by
the New Mexico Health Insurance Alliance, a nonprofit public corporation
established in 1994 to provide access to insurance for small businesses and
some individuals.
Democratic lawmakers said Monday they'll introduce
legislation this session for an exchange.
