Oklahoma seeks faster health care appeal

[House Atreides]

The state of Oklahoma, arguing that the Supreme Court should consider the views of a state government when it rules on the legality of federal tax subsidies to be paid to insurance-buying consumers under the Affordable Care Act, has urged the Court to review that state’s case when it considers the already granted case of King v. Burwell.

[House Atreides]

If granted, IMHO this will definitely help the plaintiffs' case. "Plain words" would then prevail.

[House Atreides]

Ooops, I had planned to also include the below language in the above extract but neglected to do so:

In announcing plans to ask the Supreme Court to take on the Oklahoma case now, to be heard along with the King case, the state’s attorney general said the Court should do so “to ensure the Court hears the perspective of a sovereign state” and “to ensure state’s rights are at the table when a decision is made.”
