WASHINGTON — Georgia, Ohio and Wisconsin joined more than a dozen other states on Friday in saying they would not establish health insurance exchanges, while a handful of other states said they would take advantage of an extra month allowed by the Obama administration to make decisions.
The exchanges — online markets where consumers can shop for private insurance subsidized by the federal government — are a centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s health care law.
The federal government will create and run exchanges in any state that is unable or unwilling to do so.
