Who are the “do-be’s”?
As a programmer, I can tell you it’s not going to happen in a timely fashion.
It will be screwed up and incomplete for years.
And since the gubmint will keep changing its mind, it will never be done right. Ever.
States can easily muck this up -
1. Charge the federal government exorbitant fees for operating in the state.
2. Make the feds operate according to state law.
3. Sends hoards of state bureaucrats to federal offices and make them comply with impossible building, environmental and work regulations.
Interesting. Thanks to all posters/linkers/researchers/educators. BTTT!
The governors of the states that will not set up exchanges or a fed co-op program are engaging in the best kind of civil disobedience/passive-aggressive actions to collapse this thing of its own weight. They are showing the kind of protection for state and citizen rights that the SCOTUS failed to do.
They can do it — they’ve desgned 35 different blends of gasoline.
I’ve read this as well from:

“That might explain why the IRS is literally rewriting the statute. On May 24, the IRS finalized a regulation that says the laws $800 billion insurance-industry bailout will not be conditional on states creating Exchanges. With the stroke of pen, the IRS (1) stripped states of the power Congress gave them to shield employers from that $2,000 per-worker tax, (2) imposed that illegal tax on employers whom Congress exempted, and (3) issued up to $800 billion of tax credits and direct subsidies to private health insurance companieswithout any congressional authorization whatsoever.”
