Which he could do by executive order because the statute doesnt require them, his regulations do, nobody will sign up for this turkey. hell be embarrassed by the low turnout. did you see reuters reports that the 12 state exchanges have had a total of 50,000 sign-ups? if experience is a guide, 40 of them are probably medicaid. if you have a quarter of the country with 10,000 sign-ups, youre talking about 40,000 in the whole country after a month and a half of oh this turkey being out there. the o...
