The Federal Government will set one up for PA in that case.  The map above, in addition to showing which states are not participating in Medicaid expansion (now up to 9 states in red), shows which have state run exchanges with chopping carts, federal with capital domes, or partnerships in Illinois.  This is another thing going on at the same time as the fiscal cliff negotiations.
