Walker was quoted as saying something along the lines of, 'the deadline's no big deal, the fed's aren't likely to review anything we send them for months, anyway.'

He quoted a Citizen Action summary that concluded:
“The Walker Administration is clearly in a bind because it does not want a federal exchange nor does it want a state exchange which meets minimum consumer protection standards,” said Robert Kraig, Executive Director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin. “Based on the record, our concern is that the Walker Administration will try to square the circle by submitting a plan for a substandard exchange which allows health insurers to sell inferior insurance. This could set up a showdown between Walker and federal authorities that could further delay planning for the implementation of health care reform in Wisconsin."
It's a very good recap of what's been going on.
