I think this reporter is having a little trouble with the concept of how a subsidy works. Premiums already have “absolutely exploded” because of Obamacare. The subsidy is the taxpayers paying for part of that explosion.

Not explode, just not artificially depressed.

Them’s the unintended consequences when you don’t even read the bill let alone pass it by your lawyers.

No. Healthcare premiums would remain the same, it’s just that the taxpayers wouldn’t be picking up a hefty chunk of the tab.

Obama says just ignore it..and will probably try to use that pen....except that pen has no ink....because there has already been a decision on the matter.
To: Opinionated Blowhard
If this ruling stands, does this mean people who got a 10K policy and only pay 1K have to find another 9K to pay the insurer this year?

RE: , its just that the taxpayers wouldnt be picking up a hefty chunk of the tab.
But aren’t the subsidies already PROVIDED for millions of those who have enrolled?
How are they going to get it back?

Either that or they scream in the press and Obama bullies the insurers to cut premiums for low income people. One step closer to the bankrupting of the private insurance market, which would be fine by him.

No idea, and not the Court’s problem. There’s got to be some policy or precedent on how to deal with past expenditures that were later ruled illegal, and I’ve a sneaking suspicion that it boils down to “ignore it, but just don’t do it again”.

"No Problema"
To: Red Badger
Yes. People would have to pay their own very high premiums, rather than forcing others to.

If it comes to that, then yeah, they are on the hook for making up the difference in the premium. Or somebody is.
And how will that play in the elections in November? The Republicans have been handed a HUGE club, will they simply let it drop and vote in subsidies outside the provisions of the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010”?
We don’t have money to pay our bills now. How is that going to make anything all better?
