WALKER/SCOTT: NO STATE-LEVEL SUBSIDY FIX
Several high-profile Republican governors are building pressure on Congress to come up with a plan if the Supreme Court decides to void subsidies for millions of people in their states.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker both said Tuesday they are opposed to any kind of state-level fix to restore ObamaCare subsidies in case the administration loses in court.
"I think it has to be a federal fix," Scott told reporters at the event he hosted Tuesday for GOP presidential candidates, according to The Washington Post.
Walker, who attended the summit as a potential candidate, reiterated his previous stance that he would "ultimately push back" if pressed to come with his own plan to prevent chaos in the healthcare marketplace.
"This is a problem created by this president and the previous Congress," he said, according to the Post. "It's something that requires a solution at the federal level. States didn't create this problem, the federal government did. And they should fix it."
Besides Florida and Wisconsin, several other states have ruled out an ObamaCare rescue.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska and South Carolina have all previously said that they would not act on the state-level to restore the subsidies.
