I am unsure about this.
It has been said the law states that if states refuse to setup exchanges, then the federal government will do it for them and charge a penalty.
If the above is the case, then I don’t think this approach has legs.
The surest way to get rid of the Obamacare beast is to defund it and then later repeal it.
However, if as reports say are true that Boehner is going to push through immigration reform early next year, then there will be no republican party power to defund or repeal Obamacare.
What will happen is that the illegals who will be legalized will register to vote regardless of citizenship status. The 2014 elections will then result in power maintained by the democrats in the Senate and probably a return of the House to the democrats.
The republicans in power will do this to hold onto incumbency, nothing more.
Maybe there were referring to all 57 states??
The law authorizes “premium assistance” - tax credits and subsidies - in state-run exchanges (Section 1311) but not federal ones (Section 1321)

QUINTUPLE BINGO!!!
How else does anybody think CA changed so rapidly from frequently Republican to entirely DemonCrap? The change came a lot faster after the 1986 amnesty than would have happened if the newly legalized illegals had followed normal legal procedure and applied or citizenship with the regular wait. Instead hordes flooded into the state, infested sanctuary cities like LA and San Francisco, and started voting DemonCrap immediately. IOW the DemonCraps and illegals stole CA from its real citizens and America.
