document: Tea Party Blocks Health-Care Implementation Ron Lamkey / Getty Images Hate the health-care law ? The Tea Party has come up with a solution : block any implementation of health-care reform , much to the frustration of state lawmakers from both parties . `` They 've basically handed off the health exchange to the federal government , '' said Montana Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen , a Democrat , about the Tea Party legislators who have managed to hamper the reforms . In Lindeen 's own state , for example , a Republican who ran on a Tea Party platform has blocked multiple health-exchange bills and has worked to create legislation that would specifically bar the state from setting up the health-care marketplace . According to the health-care bill , states must implement health-care reform by 2014 , and if they do not have a system in place by 2013 , the federal government will come in and put it in place themselves .
