“The main question that the court will focus on is not whether Congress wanted to approve subsidies through federal exchanges, but whether they in fact did so.”
As there was insufficient time for anyone in Congress to study the bill before voting on it, due to its immense size, I would argue that very few even had the time to ponder who would receive subsidies.
Furthermore, there is a lot of evidence that the people who wrote the bill (Gruber), fully intended that only state-established exchanges would receive subsidies.
The gov’t is the largest “monopoly” in the world...
Isn’t using gov’t coercion to subsidize state exchanges a huge case of monopolistic behavior that our Antitrust laws should be enforced upon.
Not to mention that the Fed is illegally using economic discrimination against private sector insurance companies...
This is FASCISM.
