10-24-13 health insurance exchange bill

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican state lawmakers are circulating a bill that would give the Legislature control over whether Wisconsin operates its own health insurance exchange. Governor Scott Walker made the decision not to create a state exchange and instead have the federal government operate the online marketplace, which has been beset with problems since it went live earlier this month. Republican sponsors of the bill circulated this week for backers say Walker was right to not have the state run the exchange.
