After serious resistance from members of the General Assembly last year, Gov. Jay Nixon is choosing his words carefully on the topic of establishing state level health insurance exchanges as required by President Obama’s Affordable Care Act.
On Saturday, after an event in Columbia, Nixon was asked whether he would be willing to move to establish the exchanges if no action is taken by the state legislature.
“Do you really think they’re on the cusp of passing a health care exchange bill down in Jefferson City?,” Nixon asked.
Nixon said while federal entities debate details of the law in court, his administration has had “a lot of other things ahead of that.”
