Court Deals Setback to Health Care Law

A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the government could not subsidize health care premiums for people in three dozen states that use the federal insurance exchange, a ruling that could upend President Obama’s health care law.

The 2-to-1 ruling could potentially cut off financial assistance for more than 4.5 million people who were found eligible for subsidized insurance in the federal exchange, or marketplace.

  1. This is not a problem for Obamacare. Lord Obama will just decree the words are not what they say but instead mean what Obama says they mean. Even though the law, “plainly makes subsidies available only on exchanges established by states.” Lord Obama will decree that does not count Obama says, “Subsidies for All. Just ignore the law as written I AM THE LAW.”
