http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/paul-ryan-states-obamacaresnip:
A top House Republican says states should avoid setting up Obamacare exchanges as a way to protect insurance subsidies for their residents if the Supreme Court erases them on the federally-run marketplace.
"Oh God, no The last thing anybody in my opinion would want to do, even if you are not a conservative, is consign your state to this law," Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the chair of the powerful Ways & Means Committee, told state legislators on a Thursday conference call, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Instead, Ryan urged them to sit tight while Congress works on introducing legislation to reform health care, saying it would drop by June 20.
Why wait till June 20th? The Teapublicans plan, as has been said before, is to hurry up and die you moochers and takers.

Think about it-- these shitholes are worse than Nixon.
We die while they go on bullshitting us. We elected them, maybe we deserve them.

(24,412 posts)though he may as well have. The next Republican "Obamacare-Replacement Unit" will come and go just like every scheduled apocalypse. If they haven't come up with an alternative to ACA in five years, how are they going to come up with something substantive in another 3 months? And, just for the sake of argument, their teabagger minions (and probably a majority of their "crazy caucus" in the House) probably wouldn't support anything that Ryan, et. al come up with because they don't care about people having health care unless they're independently wealthy (or on old-age single payer government healthcare), so it's safe to say that there will be no alternative forthcoming.
