| Well, they wanted to wait for November's certain victory for Willard, on the politically motivated advice of the state's attorney general, and this is the result. A letter written Friday by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius gave states more time to design insurance exchanges - a pillar of the federal health care law. They will let businesses and Americans without health coverage from an employer buy insurance on Internet-based marketplaces starting in 2014. Sebelius, however, held firm on a Friday deadline for states to declare if they are doing a state-based exchange for 2014. The House has, according to the article, done nothing. Remember ... benevolent overlord Rick Michigan wanted to get this done over the summer, but was stymied because of election year politics. Keep this in mind the next time someone tells you that control over the entire government has come with the benefit that gridlock has ended. |
