shield citizens from Obamacare’s insidious penalties, mandates

According to your link (specifically the pdf file linked to it), Halbig eliminates the individual mandate penalty ONLY FOR those in the non-state-exchange states who make less than 400% of fed poverty level (approx. $45,000 for individs, $95,000 for families) AND whose healthcare premiums would exceed 8% of income. (Thtat's still millions of people.)

The key is, the 8% of income clause considers healthcare premiums AFTER being reduced by subsidies.

So no subsidies makes the premium soar and exceed 8% of income.

So in effect, NO penalty for individs./families below 400% of poverty level.

(Rush not included.)
