Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that health insurance consumers can receive federal subsidies regardless of their state’s role in running their insurance market, fewer states may stay in the game.

Those states that were stupid enough to spent hundreds of millions of dollars to setup their own "exchange" are going to shut them down so fast it'll make a Washington Bureaucrat's head spin.

Why would any state at this point, continue to incur the expense of running an exchange when the USSC just said the subsidies were available to all states that didn't have an exchange?

This thing may collapse under its own weight yet.

“Why would any state at this point, continue to incur the expense of running an exchange...”

I tried to make this point on facebook today when the local tv station posted this ruling. The response I got back was why would a state do that, won’t the people be better served by a state over federal exchange. I said maybe, but an good insurance broker before ocare would have been better still. lol
