HHS has determined that the new provisions of the PHS Act enacted in title I are appropriately governed by the definition of ‘state’ set forth in that title, and therefore that these new provisions do not apply to the territories. This means that the following Affordable Care Act requirements will not apply to individual or group health insurance issuers in the U.S. territories: guaranteed availability (PHSAct section 2702), community rating (PHS Act section 2701), single risk pool (Affordable Care Act section 1312(c)), rate review (PHS Act section 2794), medical loss ratio (PHS Act Section 2718), and essential health benefits (PHS Act section 2707).”

So one week the govt. says that being a state didn't mean anything and the language is confusing and the next week its important to be a state and not a territory?
Do these guys just make up the law as they go along?
Sure the territories would have to be exempt just as states that do not form their own exchanges are treated differently than ones that do form exchanges. In both cases the law is clear.
