How is a state going to establish a health care insurance exchange without the Medicaid expansion? So, basically, the politics sabotaged the Red States. They literally can't get out of their own way.
WASHINGTON -- The federal government (click here) conditionally approved eight additional states to run health exchanges Thursday, bringing the total to 20 states that will have the programs that were authorized by the 2010 federal health care law.
The newly approved states that will run their own exchanges are California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Vermont and Utah. Arkansas will partner with the federal government for its exchange.
Although states with Republican governors have fought the law, such as Texas, four of them -- Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah -- have created the exchanges....
In Missouri, the politics literally took the state into the ballot box to approve state laws to resist any application of the Affordable Care Act. It all has to be litigated to establish compliance. The politics in the USA is terrible.
There is no respect of human rights as demonstrated by this bill alone. Add to that the vast numbers of people killed in the USA everyday with a political ideology that only sees higher militarization of the civilian in the USA and what is left is profound human rights issues.
The militarization of the citizen opens up all kinds of constitutional laws including the overthrow of the constitution itself. Where do these folks think this is all going and why do they want to spend the money in opposition rather than getting on with compliance? The politics are ridiculous.
Missouri voters passed a ballot measure (click here) that prohibits the adoption of a state-based health insurance exchange without legislative or voter approval. This led to Missouri missing the deadline established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to set up a state health insurance exchange for 2014.
The ballot measure also restricted the ability of state agencies to work with the federal exchange that will be established for Missouri. This paper concludes that the ballot measure, as enacted, could have detrimental effects on the functioning of a federal insurance exchange.
