Health care expert examines Brewer's decision on health care exchange

Governor Jan Brewer has decided against a state-operated health exchange.  She’s leaving the job to the federal government.  Health exchanges will sell health insurance coverage to people who need it, under the Affordable Care Act.  KJZZ's Dennis Lambert discusses the governor’s decision with Dr. Dan Derkson, chair of the Public Health Policy Section of the Zuckerman College of Public Health at the University of Arizona.
