LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's administration is considering partnering with the federal government to run a health insurance exchange because Michigan is running out of time to set up its own if the U.S. Supreme Court holds up one of the key provisions of the federal health care overhaul.

Michigan House Republicans have refused to let state officials use $9.8 million in federal planning dollars to start setting up the MI Health Marketplace, saying they're waiting to see whether the court strikes down any or all of the Affordable Care Act on Thursday.

But state Licensing and Regulatory Affairs director Steve Hilfinger, who Snyder tasked last year with creating the state's online insurance marketplace, has warned for months that Michigan could run out of time to get a state health exchange approved by January as the federal law requires. Snyder is one of few Republican governors to acknowledge considering a possible state-federal partnership to get an exchange in place.
