Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor used her strongest words yet in saying Ohio won't set up its own state-run health insurance exchange, instead deferring to the federal government to establish the key programs required under the Affordable Care Act. "At this point, we are not going to set up a state-based exchange," Ms. Taylor told a group of about 200 Tuesday during a luncheon meeting of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce. Previously, officials of the administration of Gov. John Kasich had said they were "leaning" toward not establishing the exchange, snip Ms. Taylor, a Republican, said it would cost the state between $30 million and $40 million per year to operate such an exchange, plus initial start-up costs. Despite that cost, Ms. Taylor said, state officials are given little flexibility to make decisions. She said creating a state exchange would do nothing to mitigate health-insurance cost increases that Kasich administration officials predict will come with the Supreme Court's affirmation of President Obama's health-care overhaul, and that doing so would go against the Kasich administration's core values. snip Ms. Taylor was referring to an amendment to the state's constitution passed last year that prohibits Ohio residents from being required to participate in a health-care system. Although it passed by a significant margin, ultimately it was mostly symbolic: The state can't use it to prevent implementation of the federal health-care reform law. She did leave open the possibility the administration could reverse course, but said right now she and Governor Kasich believe the decision is the best one for Ohio. snip. The exchange must be in place by Jan. 1, 2014. The state has until Nov. 16 to tell the federal government whether it will implement its own plan or leave it to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Kasich, btw, is doing a great job for Ohio. A misstep on curtailing the unions, but not all his fault.

“”At this point, we are not “

That is considered “tough”? Sounds like politician speak to me. “At this point...” I guess at a later point they will be. How about saying, “We will never...”

Fox Business

Says that the vote in the House today could have very important implications for funding the federal health care exchanges (those that the states don’t want to implement) The House can refuse to FUND the federal exchanges !

IPAB rationing/death care panels
16,000 IRS enforcement agents, some of whom are ARMED
The ability to make law as whatever nthe HHS Secretary ‘deems.’ DEEMS?!!
A BUREAUCRAT can now imprison or otherwise economically SANCTION physicians on an individual’s health ‘care’ if the State does not agree/the BUREAUCRAT does not approve.
You PAY for not buying it.
Your bank accounts will be monitored and DOCKED for non-compliance.

You tell anyone you meet that these things are actually in the so-called 0bama’care’ law. Who would approve of this? WHO?

Start watching when you go out. How many older or disabled people do you see out and about or alone anymore? Bueller?
