"HHS said state residents who were unable to sign up
because of technical problems may still get federal tax credits if they
bought private insurance outside of the new online insurance exchanges.
The federal policy change is significant because until now the
administration has stressed that the only place to get
taxpayer-subsidized insurance under President Barack Obama’s health law
is through the new online markets, called exchanges. Previously, people
who bought outside the marketplace were not eligible for subsidies,
although they benefit from consumer protections in the law."
