Or\, the federal government will step in to do the job\, or part of it. States also have the option of opening their Medicaid programs to millions of new participants. But that’s not much time\, considering their long to-do lists. \n At least half a dozen Republican governors had delayed implementation efforts in hopes that the Supreme Court would rule the law unconstitutional\, or that Gov. Mitt Romney would win the November election and repeal the law. Neither happened\, but even if they decide now to run their own exchanges\, it will be difficult for those states – and some others – to be ready in time\, say health care experts. \nCalifornia is planning to operate a state insurance exchange\, and also is moving ahead with a Medicaid expansion. Also\, the state will soon partner with the federal government to coordinate care for nearly half a million people who quality for both Medicare and Medicaid.   \nWill California be ready to begin enrolling people this fall?
