I’m no legal beagle but I believe this is a different issue.
JW is supporting the plaintiffs in King vs. Burwell which challenges the subsidies allowed to people signing up in other than state exchanges.
In the ACA it specifically states subsidies will only be allowed to those signing up in state exchanges.
Thanks and I’m no legal beagle either and you are correct in the bases for the challenge but what’s confusing is the semantics of the law’s wording of who is and is not eligible for subsidies. The wording is clear and so was Gruber’s statement but the administration’s defense as I understand it will argue that the words addressing the subsidies issue don’t mean what the words say as originally written. We all know that’s BS or the administration wouldn’t have changed them but there in lies a conundrum for the Supreme Court by themselves having previously changed the law as it was initially written.
