The two La Crosse-based insurers approved for marketplace exchanges under the Affordable Care Act aren’t surprised that the Obama administration is delaying final contract agreements.

This holdup, which Reuters news service first reported Wednesday morning, pushes back the federal government’s signing contracts with marketplace insurers from the original Sept. 5-9 window to mid-September.
