State health exchange map, as of May 28, 2013.
Wednesday on
Daily Kos Radio show [podcast link], Greg Dworkin and I talked about how our local media is doing in covering the start of enrollment in the health exchanges under Obamacare next week. He's in Connecticut, so it's not a huge surprise that the local media is supportive and informative, and has is working hard to inform people who will be affected how it's all going to work.
That's true as well, surprisingly, where I'm at in Idaho. The coverage hasn't necessarily been as extensive here in Idaho's capital city as in Greg's area, but it's been informative, factual, and shockingly non-biased (at least from what I've seen so far).
Today, Ian S reports from Arizona that the local paper, the Republic, deserves kudos for its coverage, and that "this Sunday, they will have a separate newspaper section on Obamacare that should help folks as they prepare for the roll-out on October 1."
What are you hearing where you live? Is your local media doing a better job than Chuck Todd, or are they letting the myths and the lies prevail?
