That's pretty darn ironic. They don't want the Federal government controlling healthcare, so they will make the Federal government control their healthcare.
Here in Michigan we are heading towards a similar scenario. Our GOP Governor Rock Snyder (who is a reasonable guy) has been pushing to get out ahead of this and start setting up the exchange, but the GOP legislature hasn't done a thing. Now they are signaling that they want to wait until after the November election before they decide if they will do anything. To borrow a phrase from my grandfather: the Michigan legislature is as useful as tits on a bull. IMO there is a real chance that the GOP is going to lose seats over this. It's wishful thinking of the GOP that not only will Romney win, but that he will have a House and Senate willing to throw the Affordable Care Act out. There comes a point where you just need to shut up and govern.
Yeah, but the governor won't let them sit on their ass, apparently.
