This should get really interesting. It only affects states who did not set up their own exchange (e.g. Georgia). We will have to wait and see what happens in states where they have abandoned their own state-run plans like in Oregon.

Based on the equal protection clause of the constitution, wouldn't Obamacare then become, by definition, unconstitutional because it treats citizens in some states differently than others?
