State Representative Al Pscholka has a slew of questions about what is going to be expected of Michigan with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling upholding President Obama's Affordable Care Act. The Stevensville Republican will co-chair a hearing at the state Capitol on Wednesday that will be the first in a series as the House tries to figure out how the healthcare law will be implemented.
Pscholka says if this is a federal tax, one of the biggest questions he has is why do states have to be involved at all in setting up health care exchanges? Wednesday's hearing will have testimony from Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Director Steve Hilfinger on how that department is interpreting the ruling. The state Senate has already approved legislation to create health care exchanges, but Pscholka says the House is going to move very deliberately.
