Well, I missed this comin'

From the Milwaukee Urinal Sentinel
Quote:
Gov. Scott Walker signaled to the national media Wednesday that Wisconsin likely won’t create its own insurance marketplace as called for under Obamacare, leaving that to the federal government.
...
“I’d much prefer control at the state level,” Mr. Walker said to The New York Times, “but the problem is, I don’t think they are really state-run.”

He said that he would give his final say on Friday but added, “Why do I want to take on the potential risk to my taxpayers if I don’t really have any true authority about what’s going to happen?”
It's possible he's thinking a bit longer term and letting the machine sink/swim on its relative merits for all to see. He also could have aspirations and doesn't want anything like this tied around his neck. Pretty good guy, but he's still a politician.

As I mentioned to someone from Madison the other day - one of those I Support Walker/Vote Obama types: "Congratulations! YOU are now the establishment and will totally own what goes down."
