A bill prohibiting state officials from planning for a state health exchange is one of the major measures affecting business that is due to come before the House this week.

They're also concerned that a federal exchange would shut out the local insurance industry and even regional health insurers.
Those supporting House Bill 1297 (which was approved by a 10-6 majority of the House Commerce Committee) maintain that a state exchange still has to follow federal rules so it makes no difference, and if enough states don't cooperate, then ACA will end up failing.
