Over two months ago, Bob noted that citizens in states that opted out of creating their own Exchanges would be ineligible for premium subsidies. Since so few states have thus far even begun exploring how to set up an Exchange, this has now hit the radar.
As Cato's Michael Cannon writes in today's Wall Street Journal:
"[Obamneycare©] offers "premium assistance"—tax credits and subsidies—to households purchasing coverage through new health-insurance exchanges ... [Obamneycare©] authorizes premium assistance in state-run exchanges (Section 1311) but not federal ones (Section 1321)."
Ooops.
So folks in states utilizing Exchanges run by the Federales will have a choice: buy (and pay for) unaffordable health insurance, or go to jail.
So not only didn't they read it before they passed it, they didn't even debug it.
