Pennsylvania Rolls Out Back-up Plan In Case SCOTUS Rules Against Obamacare
Pennsylvania became the first state Tuesday to publicly put in motion a back-up plan to protect its federal health insurance subsidies in the event the Supreme Court dismantles a key part of President Obama’s health care law.
Tuesday evening, Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf announced the state this week had submitted an application to the federal government to take over the state's federal exchange.
The move would allow Pennsylvania residents to continue to receive federal subsidies towards purchasing health insurance if subsidies on the federal exchange are invalidated by a ruling in the King v. Burwell case expected later this month.
Pennsylvania would also need the approval of its GOP-led legislature if it wanted to set up its own exchange.
"There is no reason to deal with it right now," Steve Miskin, spokesman for the state’s House Republicans, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
I sent him a note on the governor's website to thank him for his action.
This is crap.
GOP open to extending ObamaCare subsidies
If they kill the mandates the thing will financially unravel, anyway.
