According to this article only 17 states have agreed to create their own insurance exchange… which was the “backbone” to Obamacare.. Now the Feds are obligated by the ACA law to create these insurance exchanges in these states.

Meaning that the Feds will have their hands in the health insurance of the majority of the people in the country.. Remember there are already 100,000,000 people covered under Medicaid and Medicare…. about 1/3 of the population… and according to the article TX and FL are two of the states not creating the state level exchange which represents 20% of the population or ~ 60,000,000 people.

Enrollment for ACA starts in Oct 2013, with coverage starting Jan 14,2014
