A Ruling From The D.C. Circuit Court Of Appeals Is Expected Soon In Halbig v. Burwell
CBSNews.com: A Ruling Striking Down Subsidies Could "Cripple The Law."
As CBS News reported, the legal argument in Halbig was first outlined by libertarian blogger Jonathan Adler and the Cato Institute's Michael Cannon, who argue that the ACA counterintuitively prevents the federal government from providing tax credits to consumers who live in states that decline to operate their own health insurance exchange and instead rely on the national version. Without those subsidies, it would be difficult if not impossible for consumers in those states to purchase affordable healthcare in the federal exchanges, rendering them useless:
[A] three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to hand down a ruling on whether the federal government can give subsidies to Obamacare recipients in states with federally-run health care exchanges. If the appeals court rules in favor of the law's opponents, it could cripple the law. More than half of the states rely on federally-run marketplaces, and were subsidies not available in those states, Obamacare could be too costly for many customers.
However, there's no need to guess congressional intent given the law was passed by Congress four years ago. In fact, seven high-ranking Democrats who helped craft Obamacare, as well as dozens of state lawmakers, filed a brief in the case to explain the true intent of the law.
"The purpose of the tax credit provision was to facilitate access to affordable insurance through the Exchanges -- not, as Appellants would have it, to incentivize the establishment of state Exchanges above all else, and certainly not to thwart Congress's fundamental purpose of making insurance affordable for all Americans," they wrote.
