(14,578 posts)If Kansas refused to set up an exchange, then the feds do it for them. A Kansan who wanted to sign up could probably go online to do it. However, there would likely have to be the means to walk into the state office that administers Medicaid to sign up for the exchange, and in Kansas I believe that is the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Yes, Brownback could post Kansas State Troopers at every KDHE office to turn people away who wanted to sign up for the exchange. I suspect that would lead to the Federalization of Kansas National Guard troops, and perhaps even regular Army troops like the First Infantry Division.
Every now and again, perhaps we need to see armed U.S. troops marching in to enforce the will of the people because of fuckheads who serve the 1 percent.
