OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — The board for the state health exchange on Thursday once again delayed a vote on approval of 31 plans proposed to be part of the system.

Earlier this month, Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler approved four insurance companies to join the exchange and rejected proposals by five others because he said their plans didn't fit all the rules set up by the federal government as part of the new federal health law.
Some of those companies have appealed Kreidler's decision and are in the middle of an appeals process.
