Missouri- Bill Offered on Exchanges if ACA is not Overturned

Sen. Jay Wasson, R-Nixa, doesn't object to the Schaaf-Rupp proposal, but he thinks some type of insurance exchange proposal should be in place. That's why he has filed SB608, an exchange framework, co-sponsored by Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin.

"I filed the bill to get some discussion started," Wasson says. "It's like an insurance policy in case the Supreme Court does not throw out the (health reform) law. This bill offers 15 to 20 talking points of what should be in the bill."

If the court leaves all or part of the law in place, he said, "the governor could call a special session and we would already have a blueprint of what an exchange in Missouri could look like."
