Why did Scott Walker, and other Republican Governors decide to let the Federal Gov't to set up their?

They are apparently not for state control, but would rather the nanny state run their program.

I'm pretty sure my state will do the same thing.

I'm glad.

I would much rather deal with the official program than some fvcked up. half assed version that the yahoos at the capital will try to pass off.

Then the federal government should simply offer a Medicare public option in those states and nothing else. There's no reason for the federal government to relieve states of their legal obligations by spending millions of dollars setting up health insurance exchanges when those funds are needed for other purposes.

Set up a Medicare public option in those states and keep it in place permanently. If those states later want to provide health insurance exchanges, that's fine. But the Medicare public option should remain available permanently in those states in reply to Republican intransigence. F*ck them all.

how is he harming his own state?

the way i see it, he's saving state resources [tax dollars] while keeping the Feds from criticizing how the state does it. and, since the state isn't doing it, it can't be sued for the inevitable foulups.

Don't Liberals want to give more power to the Government?

The only hypocracy I hear is coming from the sheep who posted this question.
