That is what he said. The discussion was whether the committee has jurisdiction to force changes on the states and Baucus stated that the subsidies gave them the jurisdiction to change state law and demand the exchanges.
He said there are "conditions to participate in the exchanges." He just does not assert that the credits depend on whether the state or the Feds on behalf of the state establishes those exchanges.
Senator Hatch and the conservative attorneys, on the other hand, clearly indicated that the credits would flow without regard to whether the state or Feds established the exchanges, contra not-a-Congressman-Gruber.
