Recently, there have been negative comments on Gov. Tom Corbett’s decision to establish a Health Insurance Exchange and on legislators who intend to introduce enabling legislation.
It is suggested that the administration and General Assembly are endorsing the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act (PPACA, also known as Obamacare).
To suggest that conservative Republicans in Pennsylvania have suddenly decided to help President Obama shows a lack of understanding of this issue.
Pennsylvania is not legitimizing PPACA by establishing a Health Insurance Exchange.
Instead, Corbett and leaders of the General Assembly are looking at the range of choices and deciding that whatever we design will be better suited than whatever the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services imposes on us if Pennsylvania does not pass enabling legislation by Jan. 1, 2013.
