Bombshell: Federal judge suddenly green-lights lawsuit that could stop Obamacare in its tracks

A federal judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss a case that could fatally cripple the Obamacare health insurance law.

The Affordable Care Act forbids the federal government from enforcing the law in any state that opted out of setting up its own health care exchange, according to a group of small businesses whose lawsuit got a key hearing Monday in federal court.

The Obama administration, according to their lawsuit, has ignored that language in the law, enforcing all of its provisions even in states where the federal government is operating the insurance marketplaces on the error-plagued Healthcare.gov website.

Thirty-six states chose not to set up their exchanges, a move that effectively froze Washington, D.C. out of the authority to pay subsidies and other pot-sweeteners to convince citizens in those states to buy medical insurance. But the IRS overstepped its authority by paying subsidies in those states anyway, say the businesses and their lawyers.

My mistake. Kasich is accepting Obamacare Medicaid expansion funds against the state legislature's wishes. He's not accepting exchange subsidies.

Actually, it was only two. Zohre Abolfazli had not yet enrolled in an actual policy. She has only been successful in registering on the ObamaCare website.

Our insurance is sooo good. I don’t want to lose it. :(”

Mine was good too. I already lost it back in 2011 when the first mandates of ObamaCare took effect.
