Scott Walker governor looks to shore up Wisconsin ObamaCare market

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) is looking to stabilize the state's ObamaCare marketplace after Republicans failed to repeal and replace the law last year.

“Their failure to act on this issue is yet another call for us to step up and lead,” Walker told the Associated Press.

“I wanted to get premiums for that individual market more compatible with where the group insurance premiums are.”

Walker said he will seek federal permission to set up a reinsurance program, which provides payments to plans that cost higher-cost enrollees in an effort to lower premiums for everyone else.

Walker also said he will also ask state lawmakers to codify in state law protections for people with pre-existing conditions.

The proposed reinsurance program, to start in 2019 if approved by the Trump administration, would pay 80 percent of claims between $50,000 and $250,000.

So does the Drumpf administration help or give a big FU to a fellow Repuke?
