Clearly the law was written sloppily, to have this major oversight in it.

It's not sloppy, it was intentional. Earlier drafts of the legislation had a federal subsidy defined, but it was removed in the effort to get the CBO scoring under $1T in cost.

IN that case, what can anybody say. Let Nancy P. and Obama live with their legislation, which they intentionally messed with to hit an artificial financial target of CBO scoring.

The path to Single Payer requires that Obamacare DOESN'T work. Frustration in Obamacare would trigger people wanting a fix, and that fix would be Single Payer. Who would rollout the BIG FIX? Prez Hillary or Prez Elizabeth Warren, that's who!!!!

Remember how the O'care rollout was a failure? That was INTENTIONAL!!! If the rollout worked yet Obamacare was still a miserable failure, then they couldn't blame the website!!!!! They needed something to blame for O'care's failure, so they kept the website down so they could BLAME something for O'care being a failure. Sick thinking but that's team Obama for ya.

Agree. The intent of the wording was to encourage states to set up their own exchanges rather than having the federal government bear the responsibility for funding and implementation. The wording was intentional. Obama didn’t expect so many states to opt out of setting up the exchange.
