Could be wrong.

As Hotair explains:

The issue, remember, is one line in the ObamaCare statute that says subsidies shall be available only to consumers who buy their new health insurance on “an Exchange established by the State.”

Thirty-four states refused to build their own exchanges, so the federal government went ahead and built Healthcare.gov for people in those states as a substitute.

Question: Is that “an Exchange established by the State”? If not, a lot of people who were counting on subsidies to help pay for their insurance are about to have the rug pulled out from under them.

It’d be weird to pass a law called the “Affordable Care Act,” that disallows affordable coverage for tens of millions of people just because it was the feds who set up their state’s exchange instead of the state itself.

[Huskrrrr]

I'm getting very cynical regarding the future of this country, I wouldn't bet against Obama.

Since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate healthcare purposes, Obamacare Democratcare shouldn't have survived its first legal challenge.

Being over-ruled on the subsidies would kill Obamacare.

[Sasparilla]

Libs are tap dancing around this one by calling the Federal government the Orwellian “State.” However, the Feds never refer to themselves as the “state.”
You lose Obamaphiles.

The thing about Lawrence Tribe is (notwithstanding his generally quite leftist POV) he is a very excellent lawyer ... and he usually speaks quite honestly about issues (even when he’s on the other side). Meaning... this is a significant opinion... not just another article to blow away

Tribe’s pretty smart, but Jackass John Roberts already rewrote the law once to make it fit (changed a penalty into a tax). He can do it again.

Meanwhile from one of Ted Cruz’s Harvard Law professors, Alan Dershowitz: “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”

[Intolerant in NJ]

... as written, people who enroll in Obamacare through the federal exchange aren’t eligible for subsidies...not to worry - Roberts will simply rewrite the law the way he did the original ACA to fit whatever he needs to to meet his current legal standards....

10’s of million of people lives upended and for what!
So very few can make more millions and others lord it over the rest of us.

I know what I would like to do to all those involved but the NSA has emailed me saying they have to install another hard drive because my file is already too big.
