Post-election (or whatever term yields visceral satisfaction), many states who waited for Obama to go off in the horizon (since SCOTUS didn't work out so well) will need to - again - deal with the G again in many respects. One of those is health exchanges.
So far, here's the scuttlebutt coming out of Mad-town.

“Wisconsin must retain authority, flexibility and leverage — tools that will keep us on the path to achieving true reform and preserve our leading edge health care system as a Wisconsin strength,” said Eric Borgerding, executive vice president of the Wisconsin Hospitals Association. “WHA believes the correct choice for Wisconsin is steering its own course. That means, to the greatest extent possible, operating a Wisconsin-run health insurance exchange.”

I don't see Walker allowing a Fed-mix of anything and, in another seeming contradiction of views, most WI residents agree with that approach*, if it must be so. The biz/commerce outfits & the health care associations are lions & lambs seemingly lying down in agreement on this one. In terms of quality of care, there are some pretty damn good partnerships already with clinics attached to hospitals at the local level which are affiliated with Mayo over in Rochester (MN).
* being witness to how well VA (at several of the large VAMCs) and the USPS work... remember, this is the place with complete Republican Gov & Legislature, electing Obama - twice.
